The binuclear complex bis(1,5-bis(p-methoxyphenyl)-1,3,5-pentanetrionato)bis(pyridine)dicopper(II), Cu2(DANA)2(py)2, has been crystallized and examined by X-ray diffraction techniques. The structure consists of binuclear monomers in which each copper atom is bound to four ketonic oxygen atoms and an axial pyridine. Crystal data is as follows: P21/c, a = 8.413 (2) ?, b = 22.791 (5) ?, c = 11.109 (2) ?, β = 91.60 (2)°, Z = 2, R1 = 0.035, R2 = 0.050. The d9-d9 system, Cu2(DANA)2(py)2, exhibits strong intramolecular antiferromagnetism (-2J = 825 cm-1) resulting in nearly diamagnetic behavior at room temperature. These results are contrasted to the structurally related d1-d1 system, (VO)2(DANA)2, in which the value of -2J is 160 cm-1. The magnetic differences are discussed in terms of the orbital symmetry of the exchanging electrons.
