The ferromagnetic couplings were observed in an unpublished crystal that consists of binuclear copper(II) complexes, namely, [Cu(2)(μ(1,3)-SCN)(2)(PhenOH)(OCH(3))(2)(HOCH(3))(2)] (PhenOH = 2-hydroxy-1,10-phenanthroline), and in the binuclear complex Cu(ii) ion assumes a distorted octahedral geometry and thiocyanate anion functions as a μ(1,3)-SCN(-) equatorial-axial (EA) bridging ligand. The analysis for the crystal structure indicates that there are three types of magnetic coupling pathways, in which two pathways involve π-π stacking between the adjacent complexes and the third one is the μ(1,3)-SCN(-) bridged pathway. The fitting for the data of the variable-temperature magnetic susceptibilities shows that there is a ferromagnetic coupling between adjacent Cu(II) ions with J = 50.02 cm(-1). Theoretical calculations reveal that the two types of π-π stacking resulted in ferromagnetic couplings with J = 4.16 cm(-1) and J = 2.75 cm(-1), respectively, and the bridged thiocyanate anions pathway led to a weaker ferromagnetic interaction with J = 0.88 cm(-1). The theoretical calculations also indicate that the ferromagnetic coupling sign from the two types of π-π stacking does not accord with McConnell I spin-polarization mechanism. The analysis for the Wiberg bond indexes that originate from the π-π stacking atoms indicates that the Wiberg bond indexes are relevant to the associated magnetic coupling magnitude and the Wiberg bond index is one of the key factors that dominates the associated magnetic coupling magnitude.
