Summary

Two new imidazolate-bridged dinuclear CuII complexes, Na[Cu2(L1)2(im)] and K[Cu2(L2)2(im)] (where H2L1=6-amino-1,3-dimethyl-5(2-carboxyphenyl)azouracil and H2L2=1,3-dimethyl-5(2-carboxyphenyl)azobarbituric acid) have been prepared and characterized by magnetic susceptibility and spectroscopic measurements. Both compounds exhibit the expected antiferromagnetic behaviour with 2J=−54.8 and −30.4 cm−1, respectively. Because of the lack of suitable crystals for single crystal X-ray analysis, we have calculated the lowest energy structures using a program based on the MMX force field. On the basis of the results, the magnitude of the magnetic interaction is discussed.
