TL;DR: The observations made here vindicate the proposition that, for most of the Cu(II)Ln(III) complexes, the exchange interactions are fairly strong, which probably could be related to the small dihedral angle between the CuO( 2) and LnO(2) planes.

TL;DR: The cocrystallization observed in 2-4 is related to the tendency of a water molecule to be encapsulated in the vacant O4 compartment of the mononuclear [CuIIL1] species and the coordination geometry around the cobalt(II) and manganese( II) centers in 3 and 4 is intermediate between square pyramidal and trigonal bipyramidal.

TL;DR: All the five copper(II) complexes exhibit overall antiferromagnetic interaction and bridging moieties and nuclearity have been almost retained in solution.

TL;DR: Syntheses, characterization, and magnetic properties of a series of diphenoxo-bridged discrete dinuclear M(II)Ln(III) complexes derived from the compartmental Schiff base ligand, H(2)L, obtained on condensation of 3-ethoxysalicylaldehyde with trans-1,2-diaminocyclohexane, are described.

TL;DR: In this article, two Schiff base compartmental ligands derived from the condensation of 3-ethoxysalicylaldehyde with 1,2-diaminocyclohexane and orthophenylenediamine, respectively, were used to isolate two diphenoxo-bridged discrete dinuclear Cu I I Gd I I I complexes.
