Nitrogen magnetic susceptibility

Copper(II) complexes of 2,6-lutidylphenylketone thiosemicarbazone, 38, have been prepared from copper(II) chloride and copper(II) bromide [186]. Similar to 2-pyridyl thiosemicarbazones, 38-H coordinates via the ring nitrogen, the azomethine nitrogen and the thiol sulfur based on infrared spectral assignments. Magnetic susceptibilities and electron spin resonance spectra indicate dimeric complexes and both are formulated as [Cu(38-H)A]2 with bridging sulfur atoms. The electronic spectra of both halide complexes show band maxima at 14500-14200 cm with shoulders at 12100 cm S which is consistent with a square pyramidal stereochemistry for a dimeric copper(II) center. 

A further complication, not fully understood, is the temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility W, the shrinkage of the axial Fe-0 bonds on cooling from 1.35A at room temperature to about 1.29A at nitrogen temperature, combined with the absence of significant variations in the Mossbauer splitting.
