thiocyanate bridges have been isolated. Electronic spectra
of the complexes support their geometries as established
from X-ray analysis. Magnetic studies indicate a weak fer-
romagnetic interaction operates between the two metal
centres in the doubly azido bridged complex 1, whereas
complex 2 exhibits weak antiferromagnetic interactions.

The best fit was obtained with a Lande factor, g of 2.1, iso-
tropic interaction parameter J = +0.75 cmꢀ1. The two cop-
per atoms of the dinuclear unit are linked by two azido
bridging ligands in an end-on fashion. The copper atoms
have a square pyramidal geometry and the bridging nitro-
gen atom of each azido ligand is in a basal position of one
copper and the apical position of the second copper.
The temperature dependence of vMT for 2 is shown in
Fig. 5. Due to the chain structure of the complexes, the
model of equally spaced copper(II) ions has been used.

the results can be fitted using the numerical expression for

For 2, the best fit was obtained with a Lande factor, g of
2.14 and isotropic interaction parameter J = ꢀ0.23 cmꢀ1
.
The sulfur atom of the thiocyanate bridge occupies the api-
cal position of the copper cation.
The weak coupling for both the complexes may be
explained as follows: the magnetic orbital describing the
unpaired electron on a copper(II) ion in square pyramid
is of the dx2ꢀy2 type (the x and y axes being defined by
the short basal bonds). The overlap between the magnetic
orbitals of two neighbouring coppers is thus very small,
and the isotropic interaction parameter (roughly propor-
tional to the square of this overlap) is expected to be small.
