X-ray crystal structures of the five complexes have been determined. Complexes 1-4 consist of binuclear units where both Cu(II) are linked by four syn-syn carboxylate bridges, showing a paddle-wheel unit. The compound 5 is mononuclear and the metal center is coordinated to two PhOBz in monodentate form, two 4-Phpy ligands and one H2O molecule with slightly distorted square pyramidal geometry. Finally, the magnetic properties of compounds 3 and 5 have also been studied, confirming the different strength interactions between Cu(II) cations.29 p.application/pdfengcc-by-nc-nd (c) Elsevier Ltd, 2018http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/3.0/esCristal·lografiaCoureCrystallographyCopperinfo:eu-repo/semantics/article6855252020-05-18info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess
