Ferromagnetic coupling in a one-dimensional molecular railroad copper(II) azido compound containing a defective double cubane motif.
The compound [Cu2(bpm)2(N3)4]n (bpm = bis(pyrazol-1−yl)methane) shows three unique coordination modes (μ1,1-, μ1,1,1-, μ1,1,3-N3) and ferromagnetic interaction between the copper(II) ions. The structure of the compound exhibits a one-dimensional railroad polymer made up of repeating defective dicubane-type units linked by μ1,1,3-N3 bridges.
