Defective metal string complex with one nickel(II) metal absent in center [Ni 8 (μ 8-N 9-2pz) 4 Cl 2 ](PF 6) 2 (2) was obtained on the basis a pyrazine and naphthyridine-containing triamino ligand N 2-(pyrazin-2-yl)-N 7-(7-(pyrazin-2-ylamino)-1, 8-naphthyridin-2-yl)-1, 8-naphthyridine-2,7-diamine (H 3 N 9-2pz) (1). The small J value (J =-2.96 cm-1) suggests quite a weak magnetic interaction throughout the molecule of complex 2. The weak magnetic interaction in defective complex indicates that the spin exchange in metal string occurs through the metal core rather than the bridging ligands.
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.
