Quest for extended coordination networks from highly connected azido-bridged clusters

Abstract

Two nets {[Co₆(L)₆(μ_1,1,1-N₃)₆]·H₂O}_n (1) and {[Co₄(L)₄(μ_1,1,1,1-N₃)(μ_1,1-N₃)₂]·H⁺·5H₂O}_n (2) based on highly connected μ_1,1,1 and μ_1,1,1 azido-bridged clusters were obtained with nicotinate N-oxide(L) as the co-ligand. Magnetic interactions existed in 1 and 2, and 2 is the first μ_1,1,1,1 azido containing net.
