The three compounds MnCu (obbz)-5H20, MnCu (obbz)· 1H20, and NiCu (obbz)-6H20, hereafter abbreviated as MnCu-5H20, MnCu-lH2Ó, and NiCu respectively, have been synthesized, obbz stands for oxamidobis (benzoato). The crystal structure of NiCu has been determined. NiCu crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P2\/n, with a= 7.764 (1) Á, b= 12.559 (3) Á, c= 20.083 (3) Á, ß= 97.56, and Z= 4. The structure consists of isolated heterodinuclear units with octahedral Ni (II) and square-planar Cu (II) ions bridged by an oxamido group. NiCu is not isomorphous to MnCu-5H20 or to MnCu-lH20, neither of which has been obtained in the formof single crystals suitable for X-ray work. To get information on their structure, we have studied their XANES and EXAFS spectra at both Mn and Cu edges, as well as their powder X-ray patterns. MnCu-5H20 and MnCu-lH20 have very similar structures, with four noncoordinated water molecules in the former compound. Cu (Il) is in elongated tetragonal surroundings and Mn (II) in octahedral surroundings. The radius of the first shell around Mn (II) is equal to 2.17 (2) Á for MnCu-5H20 and 2.16 (2) Á for MnCu-lH20. Those data are consistent with the following structure: Mn (II) would be surrounded by six oxygen atoms; two of these atoms MnCu-lH20 belong to an oxamido group, one to a carboxylato group, and one to a water molecule in the equatorial plane; the oxygen atoms in the apical positions would belong to other carboxylato groups, forming a two-or three-dimensional network. The magnetic properties of NiCu were studied in the 4.2-300K temperature range. They are typical of an isolated heteropair with a doublet-quartet energy gap 37/2 equal to-156 (3) cm" 1. Themagnetic properties of MnCu-5H20, down to 4 K, are characteristics of alternating bimetallic chains with a minimum inthe versus T plot, being the molar magnetic susceptibility per MnCu unit and T the temperature. At 2.3 K, for MnCu-5H20 shows a sharp maximum due to a three-dimensional antiferromagnetic ordering. In contrast, the versus T plot for MnCu-lH20 diverges when T approaches the critical temperature Tc= 14 K. Below T0, MnCu-lH20 exhibits a spontaneous magnetization. The field dependences of the magnetization M for MnCu-5H20 and MnCu-lH20 have been compared. For both compounds, thesaturation magnetization corresponds to a S= 2 resulting spin per MnCu unit. Moreover, MnCu-lH20 at 4.2 K exhibits an= f (H) hysteresis loop characteristicof a soft magnet.The powder X-band EPR spectra of MnCu-5H20 and MnCu-lH20 have been recorded at various temperatures down to 15 K. The comparison of the line widths suggests that the mechanism of the magnetic ordering observed for MnCu-lH20 is of exchange interaction naturerather than of dipolar nature.
