To investigate the magnetic properties and the spin entanglement of dinuclear arrays, we prepared compounds [{Cu(pAB)(phen)H2O}(2)NO3pABH2H(2)O], 1, and [Cu-2(pAB)(2)(phen)(2)pz](n), 2 (pABH = p-aminobenzoic acid, phen = 1,10-phenanthroline and pz = pyrazine). The structure of 1 is known and we report here that of 2. They contain similar dinuclear units of Cu-II ions with 1/2-spins S-1 and S-2 bridged by pairs of pAB molecules, with similar intradinuclear exchange and fine interactions , but different 3D crystal arrays with weak interdinuclear exchange J ', stronger in 2 than in 1. To investigate the magnetic properties and the spin entanglement produced by J ', we collected the powder spectra of 1 and 2 at 9.4 GHz and T between 5 and 298 K, and at 34.4 GHz and T = 298 K and single-crystal spectra at room T and 34.4 GHz as a function of magnetic field (B-0) orientation in three crystal planes, calculating intradinuclear magnetic parameters J(1)0 = (-75 +/- 1) cm(-1), J(2)0 = (-78 +/- 2) cm(-1), |D-(1)| = (0.142 +/- 0.006) cm(-1), |D-(2)| = (0.141 +/- 0.006) cm(-1) and E-(1) similar to E-(2) similar to 0. Single crystal data indicate a quantum entangled phase in 2 around the crossing between two fine structure EPR absorption peaks within the spin triplet. This phase also shows up in powder samples of 2 as a U-peak collecting the signals of the entangled microcrystals, a feature that allows estimating |J '|. Transitions between the two quantum phases are observed in single crystals of 2 changing the orientation of B-0. We estimate interdinuclear exchange couplings |J '((1))| < 0.003 cm(-1) and |J '((2))| = (0.013 +/- 0.005) cm(-1), in 1 and 2, respectively. Our analysis indicates that the standard approximation of a spin Hamiltonian with S = 1 for the dinuclear spectra is valid only when the interdinuclear coupling is large enough, as for compound 2 (|J '((2))/J(2)0| similar to 1.7 x 10(-4)). When J ' is negligible as in 1, the real spin Hamiltonian with two spins 1/2 has to be used. Broken-symmetry DFT predicts correctly the nature and magnitude of the antiferromagnetic exchange coupling in 1 and 2 and ferromagnetic interdinuclear coupling for compound 2.
