Reactions with NiII of a hexadentate Schiff base ligand, L, prepared from the reaction of 2-benzoylpyridine with N,N′-bis-(3- aminopropyl) ethylenediamine in the 2:1 molar ratio are reported. Mixing of this ligand with Ni(NO3)2 affords the mononuclear complex [NiL](NO3)2 (1), whereas the presence of NaN3 in the reaction system leads to the formation of the dinuclear complex [Ni 2(L)(N3)4] (2). Both adducts have been characterized by X-ray crystallography revealing distorted octahedral NiN 6 coordination environments around the NiII centers. The dinuclear complex contains terminal and end-on bridging azido ligands and displays Ni-N-Ni bridge angles of 101.1(2)° and 101.6(2)° and an intramolecular Ni?Ni separation of 3.330(1)A?. The μ-N3- bridges mediate ferromagnetic magnetic exchange interactions between the NiII centers of 2, leading to an S = 2 ground state. Fitting of bulk magnetization data provided the coupling constant J = +20.96 cm3 K mol-1 (in the H = -2JS1 ? S2 convention for the Heisenberg Spin Hamiltonian), as well as the parameters g = 2.17, D = 0.69 cm-1 and TIP = 622 × 10-6 cm3 mol-1.
