Abstract
Reaction between EuCl2 and 2,2′-bipyrimidine (bpm) in de-oxygenated water afforded a cationic molecular complex [EuCl(bpm) 2(H2O)4][Cl]·H2O (1). When performed in an organic solvent such as THF or methanol, the same reaction yielded a 3-dimensional coordination polymer of formula [EuCl 2(bpm)(MeOH)0.5]∞ (2) in which both bpm and the chloride ions act as linkers between the Eu(II) ions. Upon replacing Cl- by I-, two coordination polymers of formula {[Eu(bpm)2(H2O)3][I]2·0.5bpm} ∞ (3) and {[Eu(I)(bpm)(MeOH)][I]}∞ (4) were obtained from reaction in water and methanol, respectively. All these compounds were characterized by X-ray crystallography. Investigations of the magnetic properties revealed a weak antiferromagnetic coupling in 2, while 3 and 4 showed a weak ferromagnetic coupling at low temperature.
