Popis: Experimental electron density distributions of [Cu(NO 3 ) 2 (H 2 O) 2 (pm) 2 ] ( 1 ) and [MCl 2 (pm) 2 ] ( 2 :M=Co, 3 :M=Fe) (pm=pyrimidine) showing antiferromagnetic interactions were determined by the X-ray diffraction method using the multipole expansion refinement. In the crystal structures, the pyrimidine ligand bridges metal atoms to form one-dimensional chains in 1 , and three-dimensional networks in 2 and 3 . The electron populations in the d-orbitals calculated from the multipole population parameters revealed that the unpaired electrons are located in d x 2 −y 2 orbital for each complex. These results show that the strong interactions between the bridging ligand and the unpaired electrons cause the antiferromagnetic interactions mediated by the bridging ligands.
