is also made that exchange through O5 and O8 is the same,

Disordered solvent water and acetonitrile molecules appeared to be
present prior to the application of Squeeze, though a good point atom
model could not be achieved for them. The application of Squeeze
greatly improved the data statistics and allowed a full anisotropic
refinement of the framework structure and counterions.

In summary, ligand design and synthesis has led to a viable
approach to the specific self-assembly of a supramolecular
polymetallic square-grid-shaped Cu16 aggregate. The forma-
tion of a complete [4 4]grid in this case, compared with an
[
9]
incomplete Cu12 grid with the closely related ligand L1, is
reasonably associated with the addition of sufficient base to
fully deprotonate the ligand hydrazone oxygen atoms. This
arrangement leads to a complex network of spin-exchange
pathways through pyridazine, hydrazone, and exogenous
oxygen bridges throughout the grid, which in some cases are
effectively switched off because of the preferred orthogonal
magnetic connections between copper ions in certain grid
positions. This behavior is typical of copper(II) in simpler [2

]and [3 3]grids, in which ferromagnetic exchange domi-
nates because of a prevalence of orthogonal connections.
However, in the present case, a specific mixture of orthogonal
and nonorthogonal connections allows the antiferromagnetic
exchange terms to dominate. Fitting of the variable-temper-
ature magnetic data to an appropriate model based on this
connectivity gives exchange coupling through m-pyridazine
and m-pyridazine/O combinations comparable to those of
simpler related dinuclear complexes.
