1-tert-Butyl-1H-1,2,4-triazole (tbtr) was found to react with copper(II) chloride or bromide to give the complexes [Cu(tbtr) 2 X 2 ] n and [Cu(tbtr) 4 X 2 ] (X = Cl, Br). 1-tert-Butyl-1H-tetrazole (tbtt) reacts with copper(II) bromide resulting in the formation of the complex [Cu 3 (tbtt) 6 Br 6 ]. The obtained crystalline complexes as well as free ligand tbtr were characterized by elemental analysis, IR spectroscopy, thermal and X-ray analyses. For free ligand tbtr, 1 H NMR and 13 C NMR spectra were also recorded. In all the complexes, tbtr and tbtt act as monodentate ligands coordinated by Cu II cations via the * Dr. S. V.

The triazole complexes [Cu(tbtr) 2 Cl 2 ] n and [Cu(tbtr) 2 Br 2 ] n are isotypic, being 1D coordination polymers, formed at the expense of single halide bridges between neighboring copper(II) cations. The isotypic complexes [Cu(tbtr) 4 Cl 2 ] and [Cu(tbtr) 4 Br 2 ] reveal mononuclear centrosymmetric structure, with octahedral coordination of Cu II cations. The tetrazole compound [Cu 3 (tbtt) 6 Br 6 ] is a linear trinuclear complex, in which neighboring copper(II) cations are linked by single bromide bridges.

It should be noted that complexes of type A are of interest since they undergo ferromagnetic transition at temperatures lower than 10 K. [10] Scheme 2.
