Copper(II) Complexes with Subnormal Magnetic Moments

Abstract: : On the basis of present investigations, copper(II) compounds with subnormal magnetic moments can be roughly divided into two types. Those with direct copper-to-copper interaction have short copper-to-copper distances. In these compounds, of which copper(II) acetate monohydrate is an example, the bonding is postulated to be of the delta-bond type. In the second group, represented by acetylacetone-mono(o-hydroxyanil)copper(II), super-exchange interaction produces the lowering of the magnetic moments. It is hoped that this review will initiate structural and other investigations of these extremely interesting compounds. (Author)
