Crystal structure and magnetic behavior of a three-dimensional cyano-bridged assembly [CuL1](2)[Cr(CN)(6)]ClO4 center dot 0.5H(2)O (L-1=3,10-dipropyl-1,3,5,8,10,12-hexaazacyclotetradecane)

Reaction of K-3[Cr(CN)(6)] with [CuL1](ClO4)(2) (L-1=3,10-dipropyl-1,3,5,8,10,12-hexaazacyclotetradecane) leads to a novel three-dimensional (3-D) cyano-bridged bimetallic assembly [CuL1](2)[Cr(CN)(6)]ClO4.0.5H(2)O (1), in which each hexacyanochromate(III) ion connects four copper(II) ions using four co-planar CN- groups, which coordinate axially to the copper ion in a trans fashion forming trans-CuL1(Nequivalent toC)(2) moieties. Magnetic studies reveal that the complex displays a ferromagnetic interaction between the Cu(II) (S=1/2) and Cr(III) (S=3/2) ions through cyano bridges.http://gateway.webofknowledge.com/gateway/Gateway.cgi?GWVersion=2&SrcApp=PARTNER_APP&SrcAuth=LinksAMR&KeyUT=WOS:000223221800014&DestLinkType=FullRecord&DestApp=ALL_WOS&UsrCustomerID=8e1609b174ce4e31116a60747a720701Chemistry, MultidisciplinarySCI(E)30ARTICLE8996-9992
