Further structural and magnetic studies of tricopper dipyridylamido complexes.

TLDR
The compound Cu3(dpa)4Cl2, 1 (dpa = the anion of dipyridylamine), which was first synthesized and characterized in 1990, has been structurally characterized in three new crystal forms having Cu...Cu separations of 2.47-2.49 A and the possible existence of an exchange pathway in which the metal atoms interact directly with each other.
Abstract
The compound Cu3(dpa)4Cl2, 1 (dpa = the anion of dipyridylamine), which was first synthesized and characterized in 1990, has been structurally characterized in three new crystal forms having Cu···Cu separations of 2.47−2.49 A. Its magnetic properties have been studied fully. Reaction of Cu3(dpa)4Cl2 with 2 equiv of silver tetrafluoroborate yields Cu3(dpa)4(BF4)2 (2), a compound with a similar linear trinuclear structure but coordinated BF4 anions in each axial position and having shorter Cu···Cu distances of 2.40 A but similar magnetic properties. Least squares fitting of the magnetic susceptibility data for 1 and 2 gave isotropic g values of 2.007 and 2.130 and exchange parameters of −373 and −411 cm-1, respectively. This suggests the possible existence of an exchange pathway in which the metal atoms interact directly with each other.

Oxidation of Ni3(dpa)4Cl2 and Cu3(dpa)4Cl2: Nickel−Nickel Bonding Interaction, but No Copper−Copper Bonds

TL;DR: The oxidation of 3 to 4 is accompanied by a lengthening of the Cu-Cu distances, as expected for an increase in electrostatic charge between positively charged nonbonded metal ions, which is further evidence against Cu- Cu bonding in either 3 or 4.

Exchange Coupling in Carboxylato‐Bridged Dinuclear Copper(II) Compounds: A Density Functional Study

TL;DR: Coupling constants calculated for some complete structures, as determined by X-ray diffraction, are in excellent agreement with experimental data, confirming the ability of the computational strategy used in this work to predict the coupling constant for compounds for which experimental data are not yet available.
