Abstract

The hydrothermal reactions of Cu(NO3)2 and Na3VO4 with a series of bridging organonitrogen ligands results in the preparation of a bimetallic oxide material of the Cu/V/O/ organonitrogen family with structures incorporating the {V4O12}4- cyclic cluster as an architectural motif. The overall structures of these materials reflect in part the geometric and coordination influences of the ligands. Thus, ICU3(triazolate)2V4O12] (1) is three-dimensional, constructed from {Cu3(triazolate)2}n+4n chains linked through {V4O12}4- clusters. In contrast, [Cu2(tpyrpyz)2V4O12] (2) is one-dimensional and exhibits binuclear {Cu2(tpyrpyz)2}4+ units linked through {V4O12}4- clusters. The structure of [Cu(pyrazine)V4O12] (3) is also three-dimensional, resulting from a complex connectivity pattern between {V4O12}4- and {Cu2(pyrazine)}4+ cluster subunits. The magnetic properties of 1-3 are discussed and related to their structures.
