Title: Metal Complexes of the "Extended Reach" Ligand N,N'-p-Phenylenedimethylenebis(imidazole)
Abstract: The preparations are reported of a range of complexes of the ligand N,N′‐p‐phenylenedimethylenebis(imidazole) (p‐XBI) with Mn(II), Ni(II), Cu(II) and Zn(II). The X‐band EPR spectra of [Mn(p‐XBI)2X2]n (X = Cl, Br) are consistent with the formation of network structures comprising trans‐MnN4X2 units linked into sheets of contiguous 52‐membered rings, whereas from its EPR spectrum, {[Mn(p‐XBI)3](ClO4)2·2H2O}n has a 3D network structure of contiguous rhomboidal ‘boxes’. EPR spectra are also reported for the Cu(II) complexes, as are electronic spectra for those of Cu(II) and Ni(II).
