A new complex with the formula [Co(acac)_2(NITQ)_2]×2CH_2Cl_2 1(acac = acetylacetone, NITQ = 2-(2′-quinoxalinyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide), was synthesized and elucidated structurally as well as magnetically in detail. The crystal belongs to the monoclinic system, space group P2_1/c with a = 9.6896(1), b = 20.539(4), c = 12.147(2) ?, β = 93.84(3)°, M_r = 997.65, V = 2412.1(8) ?~3, Z = 2, Dc = 1.374 g/cm, F(000) = 1038, m = 0.635 mm^(-1), the final R = 0.0539 and w R = 0.1289 for 5998 observed reflections(I 〉 2σ(I)). The Co(Ⅱ) ion is coordinated by two nitrogen atoms of quinoxaline rings from two NITQs and four oxygen atoms from two acac ions to complete a distorted octahedral coordination environment. Compound 1 is further linked into a three-dimensional(3D) supramolecular network by hydrogen-bonding, Cl×××O weak contact and π···π stacking interactions. The magnetic measurements show compound 1 exhibits weak ferromagnetic interactions.
A new complex, [Ni(acac)2(NITQ)2]-2CH2C12 1 (acac = acetylacetone, NITQ = 2-(2"-quinoxalinyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-l-oxyl-3-oxide), was synthesized and charac- terized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, UV-Vis absorption spectrum, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. The crystal belongs to the monoclinic system, space group P21/c with a = 9.6970(19), b = 20.410(4), c = 12.166(2) A, β = 93.89(3)°, Mr = 997.43, V= 2402.3(8) A3, Z = 2, Dc = 1.379 g/cm3, F(000) = 1040,μ = 0.684 mm-1, the final R = 0.0423 and wR = 0.1197 for 2884 observed reflections (1 〉 2σ(I)). Compound 1 is found to assume a mononuclear structure, which is further linked into a three-dimensional (3D) supramolecular network by hydrogen-bonding, C1...O weak contact and π...π stacking interactions. Moreover, the luminescent properties of the ligand and compound 1 were further investigated in detail.
