Coordination compounds having the general formula ML2Ox are described, with Ox = oxalato dianion; M = Ni, Co and Zn; 1. = water and imidazoles. The compounds are * ,-\uth~r to x~hom all correspondence should be addressed. characterised by chemical analyses, i.r., far-i.r., Raman, ligand field and e.s.r, spectra. Magnetic susceptibility measurements at low temperatures indicate a polymeric structure of anti-ferromagnetically coupled M 2. ions.All physical measurements agree with a polymeric structure built up by oxalate ions as tetradentate bridging ligands forming one-dimensional linear chains. F.ach metal ion is Transition Met. Chem. 3, 90-98 (1978) Polymeric Coordination Compounds of Nickel (IlL Cobalt(ll) and Zinc(ll) 91 coordinated by four oxalate oxygens and two donor atoms (N or O) in distorted octahedron. For M = Ni, the magnetic susceptibility measurements can be best described with the Heisenberg model including a zero-field splitting; for M = Co, the lsing model gives the best results. The exchange coupling constants, l J I, vary from 9-13 cm -t .
Magnetic susceptibility data have been measured in the temperature range 1.75 to 60 K for the following structurally characterized, single chloride-bridged copper(l1) chain compounds : dichlorobis(dimethy1 sulphoxide)copper( II), dichlorobis(imidazole)copper(ll), aquo(caffeine)dichlorocopper(ll), and dichloro[2-(2'-methylaminoethyl)pyridine]copper(ii). The first two compounds exhibit antiferromagnetic intrachain interactions with exchange coupling constants of -6.1 and -2.1 cm--l, respectively, while the second two compounds exhibit ferromagnetic interactions with J values of 0.48 and 1.58 cm-respectively. Except for dichlorobis(imidazole)copper(ii), which undergoes long-range magnetic ordering below 7.7 K, the exchange coupling constants become more negative as the angle a t the chloride bridge increases from 1 13.6" in dichloro[2-(2'-methylaminoethyl)pyridine]copper(l1) to 144.6' in dichlorobis(dimethy1 sulphoxide)copper(ll).

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
