    Abstract:
    X-band E.S.R., magnetic and electronic spectra of some imidazolate-bridged homometallic complexes [(en)2Cu-R-Im-Cu(en)2](ClO4)3 where en, ethylenediamine; R-ImH, R = H imidazole (ImH); if R = CH3, 2-methylimidazole (M-ImH) and if R = C2H5, 2-ethylimidazole (E-ImH), and mononuclear complexes [(en)Cu-dien](ClO4)2 and [(en)Cu-PMDT](ClO4)2 where dien, diethylenetriamine; PMDT, pentamethyldiethylenetriamine have been described. Superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity has also been measured and compared with earlier reported complexes. In frozen solution at 77 K, the spectra show axial symmetry with a d(x2-y2) ground state. Difference in lambda(max) between mononuclear and binuclear complexes was found to be approximately 65-75 nm. Magnetic susceptibility and E.S.R. spectral measurements for all these binuclear complexes revealed that the copper(II) ions are involved in antiferromagnetic exchange interactions propagated by the imidazolate bridge.
