    Abstract:
    Two mixed bridged one-dimensional (1D) polynuclear complexes, [Cu(3)L(2)(mu(1,1)-N(3))(2)(mu-Cl)Cl](n) (1) and {[Cu(3)L(2)(mu-Cl)(3)Cl].0.46CH(3)OH}(n) (2), have been synthesized using the tridentate reduced Schiff-base ligand HL (2-[(2-dimethylamino-ethylamino)-methyl]-phenol). The complexes have been characterized by X-ray structural analyses and variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements. In both complexes the basic trinuclear angular units are joined together by weak chloro bridges to form a 1D chain. The trinuclear structure of 1 is composed of two terminal square planar [Cu(L)(mu(1,1)-N(3))] units connected by a central Cu(II) atom through bridging nitrogen atoms of end-on azido ligands and the phenoxo oxygen atom of the tridentate ligand. These four coordinating atoms along with a chloride ion form a distorted trigonal bipyramidal geometry around the central Cu(II). The structure of 2 is similar; the only difference being a Cl bridge replacing the mu(1,1)-N(3) bridge in the trinuclear unit. The magnetic properties of both trinuclear complexes can be very well reproduced with a simple linear symmetrical trimer model (H = -JS(i)S(i+1)) with only one intracluster exchange coupling (J) including a weak intertrimer interaction (j) reproduced with the molecular field approximation. This model provides very satisfactory fits for both complexes in the whole temperature range with the following parameters: g = 2.136(3), J = -93.9(3) cm(-1) and zj = -0.90(3) cm(-1) (z = 2) for 1 and g = 2.073(7), J = -44.9(4) cm(-1) and zJ' = -1.26(6) cm(-1) (z = 2) for 2.
