Abstract

Four new copper compounds of 2-amino-5-nitropyridine/pyridinium (5NAP/5NAPH) have been prepared and characterized: (5NAPH)2[CuBr4], 2; (d2-5NAPD)2[CuBr4], 2a; (5NAP)2CuCl2, 3; (5NAP)2CuBr2, 4. Compounds 2 and 2a are isomorphous and crystallize in the triclinic space group P-1. Packing is stabilized by hydrogen/deuterium bonds. Short Br…Br contacts provide potential magnetic superexchange pathways, but only very weak antiferromagnetic exchange is observed (J/kB∼-2 K). Compounds 3 and 4 are also isomorphous and crystallize in the monoclinic space group P21/c. The molecules are linked into chains by bihalide bridges, and the chains linked into rectangular/square layers by short X…X. contacts. Variable temperature magnetic data were best fit by the S = ½ antiferromagnetic rectangular model for 3 (C = 0.429(1) emu-K/mol-Oe, J/kB = −9.38(6) K, J’/kB = −5.91(4) K). Variable temperature magnetic susceptibility data for 4 were best fit by the two-dimensional antiferromagnetic square lattice model (C = 0.43(1) emu-K/mol-Oe, J/kB = −36.5(2) K).
