• that of 3·(CuBr4)0.5·CuBr3·THF shows the abrupt change at 270 K caused by the modulation of intermolecular interactions. The thermo variation of magnetic susceptibility for the other complexes follows the Curie–Weiss law, indicating the weak antiferromagnetic interaction at low temperature. Keywords

• magnetic properties. The temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility follows the Curie–Weiss law, and the spins in these salts show the antiferromagnetic interaction at low temperature. The antiferromagnetic interactions of Cu(II) in 1·CuBr4, 2·CuBr4, and 4·CuBr4 arise from the d–π–d pathway, as
