Síntese e caracterização de precursores e magnetos moleculares contendo ligantes do tipo oxamato

Abstract

This work describes the synthesis and characterization of three ligands, ethyl N-(2-pyridyl)oxamate (OPy), ethyl N-(3-pyridyl)oxamate (MPy) and ethyl N-(4-pyridyl)oxamate (PPy). These ligands have oxamato bridges and are described in the literature; they are isomers and present some properties in common, for example, solubility. From these ligands, four novel precursors have been synthesized and characterized, three of them containing tetramethylamonium cations (Me4N+), [Me4N]2[Cu(OPy)2].9H2O (MeCuOPy), [Me4N]2[Cu(MPy)2].2H2O (MeCuMPy) and [Me4N]2[Cu(PPy)2].4H2O (MeCuPPy), and one containing the Na+ cation in its composition, Na2[Cu(MPy)2].4H2O (NaCuMPy). Using these precursors, three new chains have been obtained, CoCu(OPy)2.4H2O (CoCuOPy), CoCu(MPy)2.6H2O (CoCuMPy) and CoCu(PPy)2.7H2O (CoCuPPy). The chains are insoluble in most organic and inorganic solvents, decomposing in diluted acid solutions. The magnetic properties have been also investigated. The results indicated that the chains behave as onedimensional magnetic molecular systems. All compounds obtained in this work were characterized by elemental analysis, vibrational spectroscopy (IR) and solubility. The ligands were characterized also by melting point and nuclear magnetic resonance for carbon (NMR-13C) and hydrogen (NMR-1H). For the precursors, UV-Vis spectroscopy was used. To determine the number of solvent molecules in precursors and chains, thermal analysis has been used.
