Abstract

This article describes syntheses, structural characterizations and magnetic studies of two different Cu(II)–azido compounds, a discrete dinuclear complex and an extended 2D network. The compounds, [Cu(µ1,1-N3)(N3)(Me2en)]2 (1) and [Cu31,1,1-N3)21,1,3-N3)(µ1,1,-N3)2(µ1,3-N3)(Me2en)]n (2), have been synthesized by controlling the relative concentration of the blocking ligand, N,N-dimethylethylenediamine (Me2en). Compound 1 is a dinuclear compound which is formed by a doubly asymmetric µ1,1-N3 bridging ligand, while 2 is a rare Cu–azido system where four different types of binding modes of azide ligands are present in a single compound. Compound 2 contains a hexanuclear core, where the Cu(II) centres are connected to each other by µ1,1,1, µ1,1 and µ1,1,3 bridging azide ligands. The hexanuclear core acts as a secondary building block and further assembles via µ1,3 and µ1,1,3 azide groups, forming a 2D network in the crystallographic ac plane. Interestingly, temperature-dependent magnetic study suggests that the dinuclear compound 1 exhibits an antiferromagnetic interaction through the µ1,1-N3 bridge, which has also been supported by density functional theory (DFT) calculations. In the case of 2, an overall dominant ferromagnetic interaction is observed while antiferromagnetic interaction operates between the hexanuclear cores.
