The magnetic super-exchange interactions in Cu(II) bis(oxamato) and bis(oxamidato) complexes [1] are shown to be highly sensitive to structural modifications coordinating close to the central copper. This work presents a detailed theoretical investigation of the influence of such modifications of the molecular structure on the magnetic coupling by means of DFT using the broken symmetry approach. The relation between structural parameters, the local spin density and the corresponding magnetic exchange parameters is discussed and compared to experimental results from EPR studies and magnetic measurements. Special attention was paid to the relationship between the spin population of the monomeric building blocks and the trends of the exchange interaction in case of the corresponding trinuclear complexes. Furthermore, the use of a simplified transport model based on the Non-Equilibrium-Green-Functions formalism delivers first insights into transport properties of these complexes for possible spintronic applications.
