Abstract
Magnetic couplings in oxalate-bridged binuclear complexes, namely five isomers of [(VO)2(ox)(SCN)6]4−, trans-(equatorial, equatorial), cis-(equatorial, equatorial), trans-(axial, axial), cis-(axial, axial), and (axial, equatorial), as well as [Cr2(ox)(SCN)8]4−, [Fe2(ox)(SCN)8]4−, [CrFe(ox)(SCN)8]4−, [Fe2(ox)5]4−, [Cr2(ox)5]4−, [Ni2(ox)5]6−, and [Cu2(ox)(C12H8N2)2]2+, were calculated with the broken symmetry approach. Predominant antiferromagnetic coupling is found in almost all investigated complexes, except in [CrFe(ox)(SCN)8]4−. The best agreement with experimental values for the exchange coupling constants were obtained at the B3LYP level of theory, whereas the non-hybrid functionals gave the best trend for the investigated vanadium complexes. The linear relationship between coupling constant and (ε 2 − ε 1)2 as well as linear dependence of J and the square of overlap integral of magnetic orbitals was estimated.
