Abstrakt: A series of binuclear CuII complexes [Cu2XL]n+ having two copper(II) ions bridged by different motifs (X = OH, MeCO2, or Cl) have been prepared using the ligands: H2L1 = 4-methyl-2-[N-(2-{dimethylamino}ethyl-N'-methyl)aminomethyl]-6-[(prolin-1-yl)methyl]phenol, H2L2 = 4-nitro-2-[N-(2-{dimethylamino}ethyl-N'-methyl)aminomethyl]-6-[(prolin-1-yl)methyl]phenol, H2L3 = 4-methyl-2-[N-(2-{diethylamino}ethyl-N'-ethyl)aminomethyl]-6-[(prolin-1-yl)methyl]phenol and H2L4 = 4-nitro-2-[N-(2-{diethylamino}ethyl-N'-ethyl)aminomethyl]-6-[(prolin-1-yl)methyl]phenol. The complexes have been characterized by spectroscopic, analytical, magnetic and electrochemical measurements. Cryomagnetic investigations (80–300 K) revealed anti-ferromagnetic exchange between the CuII ions (−2J in the range −50 to −182 cm−1). The strength of anti-ferromagnetic coupling lies in the order: OAc > OH > Cl. Cyclic voltammetry revealed the presence of two redox couples, assigned to CuII/CuII/CuII/CuI/CuI/CuI. The first reduction potential is sensitive to electronic effects from the aromatic ring substituents and steric effect on the donor nitrogens (side arm) of the ligand systems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
