Rational design of a ferromagnetic trinuclear copper(II) complex with a novel in-situ synthesised metalloligand

An interesting ferromagnetic linear trinuclear copper(II) compound containing an in-situ synthesised functional ligand has been rationally obtained and crystallographically characterised, confirming a new route to magnetic polynuclear clusters.
