Abstract

A new tetranuclear Cu(II)-Hg(II)-Hg(II)-Cu(II) complex, [Cu(2)Hg(2)Cl(4)(C(18)H(18)N(2)O(2))(2)], has been prepared by means of a copper complex found in the literature. The molecular structure of this complex was determined by X-ray diffraction and the Cu-Hg-Hg-Cu chain was seen to be non-linear. The change in magnetic susceptibility with temperature was recorded for this complex and observed to abide by the Curie-Weiss law. The coordination around the Hg(II) ions is square pyramidal. The Cu...Hg bridging distance is 3.5269(7)A.
