A one-dimensional coordination polymer based on Cu3-oximato metallacrowns bridged by benzene-1,4-dicarboxylato ligands: structure and magnetic properties.

A one-dimensional linear coordination polymer {[Cu3(μ3-OH)(2-pyao)3(bdc)]·6(H2O)}n () composed of trinuclear [Cu3(μ3-OH)(2-pyao)3](2+) metallacrown cores bridged by bis-carboxylato linkers has been obtained by treatment of copper(ii) fluoride with pyridine-2-aldoxime (2-pyaoH) ligand and benzene-1,4-dicarboxylic acid (H2bdc). Magnetic susceptibility measurements show strong antiferromagnetic interactions between Cu(ii) centers within the trinuclear metallacrown core with J = -430 cm(-1).
