Synthesis and X-ray crystal structure of a novel neutral trinuclear copper(ii) hydridotris(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)borate complex with 1,1-azido bridges

Abstract

The X-ray crystal structure and magnetic properties of a neutral trinuclear 1,1-azido bridged copper(II) complex [LCu(µ-N₃)₂Cu(µ-N₃)₂CuL] 2 [L = hydridotris(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)borate], produced from the reaction between [Cu₃L₂]Cl 1 and an excess of trimethylsilyl azide, are reported.
