Synthesis, structures and magnetic properties of doubly bpypz ⁻ -bridged homo- and heterodinuclear Cu( ii ) and Cr( iii Miku Kawano, Tsubasa Washizaki, Ying-Ying Wu, Zhao-Yang Li, Akio Mishima, Satoshi Kawata, Ryuta Ishikawa

A series of doubly bpypz ⁻ -bridged homo- and heterodinuclear complexes, anti -[Cu ₂ (bpypz) ₂ Cl ₂ ] (1), [Cr ₂ (bpypz)2Cl ₄ ] (2), and [CuCr(bpypz) ₂ Cl ₃ ] (3), were synthesized to investigate magnetic exchange interactions in homo- and heterometallic systems.
