A new trinuclear copper(II) complex has been synthesized and structurally characterized: [Cu(3)(L)(2)(HCOO)(2)(OH)(2)](infinity) (HL = (N-pyrid-2-ylmethyl)benzenesulfonylamide). In the complex, the central copper ion is six-coordinated. The coordination spheres of the terminal copper atoms are square pyramidal, the apical positions being occupied by a sulfonamido oxygen of the contiguous trimer. As a consequence, the complex can be considered a chain of trinuclear species. The three copper atoms are in a strict linear arrangement, and adjacent coppers are connected by a hydroxo bridge and a bidentate syn-syn carboxylato group. The mixed bridging by a hydroxide oxygen atom and a bidentate formato group leads to a noncoplanarity of the adjacent basal coordination planes with a dihedral angle of 61.4(2) degrees. Susceptibility measurements (2-300 K) reveal a strong ferromagnetic coupling, J = 79 cm(-1), leading to a quartet ground state that is confirmed by the EPR spectrum. The ferromagnetic coupling arises from the countercomplementarity of the hydroxo and formato bridges. The trinuclear complex cleaves DNA efficiently, in the presence of hydrogen peroxide/sodium ascorbate. tert-Butyl alcohol and sodium azide inhibit the oxidative cleavage, suggesting that the hydroxyl radical and singlet oxygen are involved in the DNA degradation.
