The magnetic properties of a dinuclear copper(ii) Schiff base complex with dissimilar bridges have been investigated through some theoretical calculations (DFT) using suitable modeled structures.
A novel unsymmetrical dinuclear copper complex [Cu(H2pmide)(NO3)Cu(Hpmide)](NO3)2 (1) and a mixed-valence trinuclear cobalt compound [(pmide)2Co3(CH3CO2)2(NCS)2]·4CH3OH (2) have been prepared and characterized using structure and molecular magnetism.
