Abstract
Two salen type heteronuclear Cu-Gd complexes, namely, [(GdCuL 1Cl3(CH3OH)2] (1) and [Gd 2Cu4L24Cl2(OH)](PF 6)3 (2) (H2L1 = N,N′-bis(2- hydroxy-3-methoxybenzylidene)-1,2-diaminocyclohexane and H2L 2 = N,N′-bis(2-hydroxy-3-methoxybenzylidene)-1,3- diaminopropane) have been isolated. X-ray crystallographic analysis shows that 1 is of a typical neutral heterodinuclear Cu-Gd structure, while 2 features an unusual ionic hexanuclear Cu-Gd structure. Magnetic analysis reveals the dominant ferromagnetic interactions within the clusters.
