Popis: The self-assembly of 2,6-diformyl-4-methylphenol (DFMP) and 1-amino-2-propanol (AP)/2-amino-1,3-propanediol (APD) in the presence of copper(II) ions results in the formation of six new supramolecular architectures containing two versatile double Schiff base ligands (H3L and H5L1) with one-, two-, or three-dimensional structures involving diverse nuclearities: tetranuclear [Cu4(HL2&minus
)2(N3)4]·
4CH3OH·
56H2O (1) and [Cu4(L3&minus
)2(OH)2(H2O)2] (2), dinuclear [Cu2(H3L12&minus
)(N3)(H2O)(NO3)] (3), polynuclear {[Cu2(H3L12&minus
)(H2O)(BF4)(N3)]·
H2O}n (4), heptanuclear [Cu7(H3L12&minus
)2(O)2(C6H5CO2)6]·
6CH3OH·
44H2O (5), and decanuclear [Cu10(H3L12&minus
)4(O)2(OH)2(C6H5CO2)4] (C6H5CO2)2·
20H2O (6). X-ray studies have revealed that the basic building block in 1, 3, and 4 is comprised of two copper centers bridged through one &mu
phenolate oxygen atom from HL2&minus
or H3L12&minus
and one &mu
1,1-azido (N3&minus
) ion and in 2, 5, and 6 by &mu
phenoxide oxygen of L3&minus
and &mu
O2&minus
or &mu
3-O2&minus
ions. H-bonding involving coordinated/uncoordinated hydroxy groups of the ligands generates fascinating supramolecular architectures with 1D-single chains (1 and 6), 2D-sheets (3), and 3D-structures (4). In 5, benzoate ions display four different coordination modes, which, in our opinion, is unprecedented and constitutes a new discovery. In 1, 3, and 5, Cu(II) ions in [Cu2] units are antiferromagnetically coupled, with J ranging from &minus
177 to &minus
278 cm&minus
