Description:
From the system CuCl2 – pbi – NaN(CN)2−, polymeric [CuCl(μ1,5-dca)(pbi)]n·nH2O (1) complex (dca=dicyanamide, pbi=2-(2-pyridyl)benzimidazole) was isolated and characterized by structure analysis, spectral and magnetic measurements. Infrared spectroscopy confirmed the presence of pbi, dca and water molecules in 1. Its solid-state structure is formed by infinite chains running along the b axis. In the chain, the Cu(II) atom is penta-coordinated by two nitrogen atoms of chelate pbi ligand, by two nitrile nitrogen atoms of bridging μ1,5-dca and by chloride ligand which occupies the apical position of tetragonal pyramid around the Cu(II) atom. Asymmetric unit is supplemented by one molecule of solvated water, which along with chlorine atom serves as acceptors in intermolecular hydrogen bonds and along with π–π interactions create a 3D supramolecular structure. Magnetic measurements revealed the presence of a weak ferromagnetic exchange interaction J/kB=0.11 K.
