Abstract

The reaction of phenyl 2-pyridyl ketoxime (PhPyCNOH) with Cu(BF 4)2·6H2O in methanol results in the trinuclear complex [Cu3(OH)(PhpyCNO)3(H 2O)](BF4)2 (1), which has been characterized by elemental analyses, IR spectrum and single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. The structure of 1 exhibits a triangle of Cu(II) ions, centered by a triply bridging hydroxo ligand and with three edge-bridging oximate groups from the three PhPyCNO- ions. The Cu3OH units have an average Cu-O distance of 1.962(4) A, an average Cu-Cu distance of 3.177(4) A, and an average Cu-O-Cu angle of 108.2(2) A. Variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility studies reveal an antiferromagnetically-coupled system showing antisymmetric exchange.
