Tetranuclear Cu(<scp>ii</scp>) complex supported by a central μ₄-1,1,3,3 azide bridge

Abstract

The new cluster [Cu4L2(N3)]Cl.16H2O has been synthesized and characterized; it features a unique mu4-1,1,3,3 bridging mode for azide, whose capacity to mediate magnetic coupling has been examined through bulk magnetic measurements and numeric fitting procedures.
