In this study a novel dinuclear copper(II) complex with adenine and phenanthroline has been synthesized and its structure determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. In the dinuclear complex [Cu-2(mu-adenine)(2)(phen)(2)(H2O)2](NO3)(4)center dot 0.5H(2)O (phen = 1,10-phenanthroline) (1) the two Cu(II) centres exhibit a distorted square pyramidal coordination geometry linked by two nitrogen donors from adeni...
The syntheses, crystal structures, and magnetic properties of two new copper(II) complexes with molecular formulas [Cu-7((2)-OH2)(6)((3)-O)(6)(adenine)(6)](NO3)(2)6H(2)O (1) and [Cu-2((2)-H2O)(2)(adenine)(2)(H2O)(4)](NO3)(4)2H(2)O (2) are reported. The heptanuclear compound is composed of a central octahedral CuO6 core sharing edges with six adjacent copper octahedra. In 2, the copper octahedra shares one equat...
