The reactions of Ln(hfacac)(3) with the bdmapH ligand and Cu(OCH3)(2) or CU2(O2CCH3)(4)(H2O)(2) have been investigated where hfacac = hexafluoroacetylacetonato, bdmapH = 1,3-bis(dimethylamino)-2-propanol. The hfacac ligand in these reactions has been found to undergo decomposition or cycloaddition with 1,1,1-trifluoro-2,2-propanediol. Two dinuclear compounds, Ln(2)(hfacac)(4)(bdmap)(2)(H2O)(2)(THF)(2), (1, Ln = Pr) and LnCu(bdmapH)(2)-(hfacac)(2)(O2CCF3)L (Ln = Pr, 2a; Y, 2b; L = 2-methyl-2,4,6-tris(trifluoromethyl)-1,3-dioxane-4,6-diolato) have been isolated from the reaction of Ln(hfacac)(3) with Cu(OCH3)(2) and bdmapH in a 1:1:2 ratio in THF. These two compounds also were obtained by independent syntheses. A trinuclear compound, LnCu(2)(hfacac)(bdmap)(3)(O-2-CCH3)(2)(O2CCF3)(hfacacH) (Ln = Nd, 3a; Pr, 3b), was obtained from the reaction of Ln(hfacac)(3) with Cu-2(O-2-CCH3)(4)(H2O)(2) and bdmapH in a 1:1:3 ratio in THF. The crystal structures of these compounds have been determined by X-ray diffraction analyses. Their thermal behavior has been examined by themogravimetric analysis. The magnetic properties of compounds 1, 2b, and 3b were examined by EPR and magnetic susceptibility measurements.
