Structural, Spectroscopic, Thermal, and Magnetic Properties of a New Dinuclear Copper Coordination Compound with Tiglic Acid

The first coordination compound of copper and tiglic acid named tetrakis(mu-tiglato)bis(tiglic acid)dicopper(II) was synthesized and crystallized from water solution. Its structure was determined and analyzed based on X-ray diffraction measurement. The paddle-wheel coordination system of the investigated compound was compared with other similar copper structures known in the literature. The Hirshfeld analysis was used for the detailed analysis of intermolecular interaction. The new compound was also characterized in terms of infrared absorption, thermal, and magnetic properties. The antiferromagnetic coupling of copper ions was found.
