were for the first time isolated from our previously reported [Cu3(dcadpz)2(Hpz)2(ClO4)2](ClO4)2·H2O by the use of
(NH4)2S to remove the CuII ions and characterized by IR, EA, UV, NMR, MS, and X-ray crystallography. Reactions
of copper(II) or nickel(II) nitrate with Hdcadpz in a 1:2 molar ratio generated two mononuclear precursors of [Cu(dcadpz)2] (1) and [Ni(dcadpz)2]·2/3DMF (2). Furthermore, three new linear homo- and heterotrinuclear complexes
of the same motif [M{M‘(dcadpz)2}M] (M = CoII, NiII, M‘ = CuII, NiII), [{Co(pdm)}2{Cu(dcadpz)2}](NO3)4 (3),
[{Ni(pdm)}2{Cu(dcadpz)2}](NO3)4 (4), and [{Ni(MeOH)(H2O)2}2{Ni(dcadpz)2}](NO3)4 (5), were synthesized from
these two precursors (pdm = 2,6-pyridinedimethanol) and characterized by X-ray crystallography. Magnetic studies
show that the central Cu(dcadpz)2 motif is antiferromagnetically coupled with both the terminal Co(II) atoms via the
dcadpz- ligand in 3 with a J value of −5.27 cm-1 and ferromagnetically coupled with both the terminal Ni(II) atoms
in 4 with a J value of 2.50 cm-1, while 5 behaves only as a Curie paramagnet between 2 and 300 K due to the
diamagnetic character of the central square-planar Ni(II) atom.
