Substituted m-phenylene bridges as strong ferromagnetic couplers for Cuii–bridge–Cuii magnetic interactions: new perspectives

Abstract

Based on a combined theoretical-experimental study, we propose that substituted m-phenylene ligands (m-N-Phi-N) can act as tuneable strong ferromagnetic couplers connecting Cu(II) ions; a new complex presenting that bridge with J close to +15 cm(-1) has been suggested and synthesized.
