Abstract

The novel tetranuclear copper(II) complex [Cu4(hpda)4][ClO4]4·H2O (Hhpda = N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1,3-propanediamine) with an open cubane-like Cu4O4 framework has been obtained and characterized by X-ray crystallography and magnetic measurements, exhibiting strongly ferromagnetic exchange interaction.
