Synthesis, magnetic behavior and structural characterization of novel one-dimensional copper(II) coordination polymer based on azide and oxalate bridges

A novel compound [Cu2(μ1,1–N3)2(C2O4)(bpzm)2]n incorporating simultaneously azide and oxalate bridges has been synthesized and characterized in the context of its structural and magnetic properties. The crystal structure has been determined by single-crystal X-ray analysis. Additionally, the compound was characterized using IR, UV–vis and thermal analyses. The investigated complex [Cu2(μ1,1–N3)2(C2O4)(bpzm)2]n represents an interesting magnetic system of Cu(II) centers with alternating ferro- and antiferromagnetic coupling.
