Two new dinuclear nickel(II) complexes have been synthesized and characterized, showing moderate ferromagnetic exchange between nickel(II) centers. Antiferromagnetic exchange occurs through the phenoxido bridge and ferromagnetic exchange through the mu(1.1)-azido bridge, with competitive interactions reducing the overall magnetic coupling. The involvement of p orbitals in the magnetic coupling is evidenced by Mulliken population analysis and spin density plots.
Two new dinuclear nickel(ii) complexes, [(H2O)Ni(N-3)(L-1)(mu(1.1)-N-3)Ni(L-1)] and [(H2O)Ni(N-3)(L-2)(mu(1.1)-N-3)Ni(L-2)]center dot MeOH, derived from two isomeric Schiff base ligands, HL1 (2-{(2-(ethylamino)ethylimino)methyl)-6-ethoxyphenoll and HL2 [2-{(2-(dimethylamino)ethylimino)methyl)-6-ethow-phenol], have been synthesized and characterized. Variable temperature (2-300 K) magnetic susceptibility measurements indicate the presence of moderate ferromagnetic exchange coupling between nickel(II) centers. In each complex, antiferromagnetic exchange takes place through the phenoxido bridge and ferromagnetic through the mu(1.1)-azido bridge. The competitive interactions therefore reduce the overall magnetic coupling. In a theoretical complex, where the bridging azido ligand has been eliminated and the rest of the geometry is kept frozen, the magnetic coupling becomes antiferromagnetic which suggests that the ferromagnetic exchange occurs via the mu(1.1)-azido bridge. Mulliken population analysis and spin density plots clearly show that the spin distributed spherically in the Ni centers is due to the presence of one unpaired electron in both the d(x2-y2) and d(z2) orbitals. The shape of the spin density at the bridging O-atom and azide evidences the participation of their p orbitals in the magnetic coupling. The SOMO is basically constituted by the d(z2) orbital of one nickel(II) center with the participation of the azide pi-system. The SOMO-1 is constituted by the d(x2-y2) orbital of the other nickel(II), an oxygen atom and the azide pi-system.
