Three new single end‐to‐end azido‐bridged copper(II) chains [Cu(L1)(N3)]n(ClO4)n (1), [Cu(L2)(N3)]n(ClO4)n (2), and [Cu(L3)(N3)]n(ClO4)n (3) using three different tridentate Schiff bases L1, L2, and L3, obtained from condensation of pyridine‐2‐carbaldehyde with N,N‐dimethylethane‐1,2‐diamine, N,N‐diethylethane‐1,2‐diamine, and 4‐(2‐aminoethyl)morpholine, respectively, have been synthesized, and their crystal structures have been determined by X‐ray diffraction methods. Complex 1, C10H15CuN6ClO4, crystallizes in an orthorhombic system, space group P212121, with a = 7.434(3), b = 12.047(4), c = 17.404(6) Å, and Z = 4; complex 2, C12H19CuN6ClO4, crystallizes in an orthorhombic system, space group Pna21, with a = 14.723(5), b = 13.829(5), c = 8.002(5) Å, and Z = 4 and complex 3, C12H17CuN6ClO5, crystallizes in an orthorhombic system, space group Pna21, with a = 13.837(15), b = 14.804(2), c = 8.050(4) Å, and Z = 4. Each structure consists of a single end‐to‐end azido‐bridged copper(II) 1D chain where each copper(II) center possesses a square pyramidal geometry. Magnetic susceptibility data, measured from 4 to 300 K, show weak ferromagnetic interaction through the end‐to‐end bridging azido pathway in all the complexes. The magnetic data were fitted to a high temperature series‐expansion for a one‐dimensional system with S = 1/2 local spin based on the Hamiltonian H = −JΣSi·Si+1 for all the complexes, giving the parameters J = +2.15 cm−1, g = 2.23 for 1, J = +3.61 cm−1, g = 2.16 for 2, and J = +2.06 cm−1, g = 2.17 for 3. This unusual magnetic behavior through the end‐to‐end bridging azido pathway has been correlated to the structural parameters. (© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH, 69451 Weinheim, Germany, 2002)
