The research investigates the synthesis and structural characterization of a series of coordination compounds containing Cu(N–N)2Cl2, Cu(N–N–N)Cl2, and HgCl2 building blocks. The purpose of this study is to explore the structural dimensionality and magnetic properties of these compounds, which are synthesized using various ligands such as bis(pyrazol-1-yl)methane (bpzm), bis(3,5-dimethylpyrazol-1-yl)methane (bdmpzm), 2,2-dipyridylamine (dpa), 5,6-diphenyl-3-(2-pyridyl)-1,2,4-trazine (dppt), 2,2'-bipyridine (bipy), and 2,2:6,2'-terpyridine (terpy). The researchers observed an increase in structural dimensionality for compounds [Cu(bpzm)2][HgCl4], [Cu(dpa)2][HgCl3]2, and [Cu(terpy)(m-Cl)HgCl3], and conducted magnetic measurements on complexes [Cu(bpzm)2][HgCl4] and [Cu(terpy)(m-Cl)HgCl3]. The study concludes that the HgCl2 moiety can accept chloride ligands from the Cu(II) centers to form binuclear or polynuclear complexes, and in the case of [Cu(terpy)(m-Cl)HgCl3], there is very weak antiferromagnetic interaction of copper centers in the one-dimensional chain.
