Abstract
Using tetrahedral and tetragonal spacers, seven new complexes have been obtained: [Co(hfac)2(L1)0.5] 1, [Cu2(hfac)4L2] 2, [Co(hfac)2L2] 3, [Co(hfac)2(L2)0.5]·8H2O 4, [AgL2](SbF6)·CH3COOC2H5 5, [Mn(hfac)2(L3)0.5] 6, [Zn(OAc)2(L3)0.5] 7, {L1 = 1,3,5,7‐tetrakis(4‐cyanophenyl)adamantane, L2 = 2,2′,7,7′‐tetracyano‐9,9′‐spirobifluorene and L3 = 2,2′,7,7′‐tetra(4‐pyridyl)‐9,9′‐spirobifluorene, Hhfac = hexafluoroacetylacetone}. Compound 1 exhibits a 2‐D grid‐like structure with the tetradentate spacer acting as a 4‐connecting ligand. The 2,2′,7,7′‐tetrasubstituted‐spirobifluorene derivatives connect the {MII(hfac)2} entities into a binuclear complex (2), a linear chain (3) and diamond chains (4, 6). The cis or trans configuration of the metal nodes influences the overall topology (MII = CuII, CoII, MnII). Similarly, a 1‐D double chain topological motif results by linking zinc ions and L3 in compound 7. Compound 5 is a 2‐D coordination polymer featuring a layered framework with square cavities. Compound 5 undergoes a reversible single‐crystal‐to‐single‐crystal process, with removal of the solvent molecules (ethyl acetate). The luminescence properties of compounds 5, 7 have been investigated and reveal blue emission with maxima at 402 and 483 nm, respectively. The dynamic magnetic properties and EPR spectrum of 1 have been investigated, revealing the occurrence of slow relaxation of the magnetization that most likely involves a Raman process.
