Abstract
This research aimed to prepare, characterize and to study thermal properties of the coordination polymers of Cu(II) dodecanoate using ditopic ligands of 2,2′-bipyridine and 4,4′-bipyridine. The freshly prepared Cu(II) complexes were synthesized and characterized by elements composition, functional groups FTIR, UV–visible spectroscopy, magnetic properties, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA and DSC) or optical microscopic examination (OPM). Thermally stable Cu(II) dodecanoate complexes were prepared with ditopic ligands of 2,2′-bipyridine and 4,4′-bipyridine for spintronic applications. The experimental results of the prepared molecular magnets displayed ferromagnetic type of magnetic interactions in the square pyramidal Cu(II) dodecanoate, along with mesomorphic or stable mechanical properties.
