Abstract:
The coordination polymers [(Cu(N(3))(2))(2)Cu(N(3))(2)(methylpyrazine)(2)](n) 1 and [Cu(4-bromopyridine)(N(3))(2)](n) 2, were prepared from NaN(3), Cu(NO(3))(2).3H(2)O and nitrogen-containing heterocycles. 1 contains a three- and four-connected 3D (4.10(2))(2)(4(2).10(4))-dmd-net based on tetrahedral and trigonal planar nodes, whereas 2 is a sheet-structure formed by a uninodal three-connected 8(2).4 2D-net with additional BrBr (mean 3.903(2) A) and BrN(azide) (3.035(5) A) contacts. Both compounds contain end-on-type azide bridges, and 2 has in addition one end-to-end bridge as well. The corresponding magnetic interactions are J(1,2) = +14.9(6) cm(-1) for the end-on azido interactions in 1 with an additional -1.7 cm(-1) coupling through the pyrazine, and J(1) = 36(6) cm(-1) for the end-on azido interactions and J(2) = 2.5(1) cm(-1) for the orthogonal end-to-end azido interactions found in 2.

Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human eye.
Ionic Crystal Structures
Most monatomic ions behave as charged spheres, and their attraction for ions of opposite charge is the same in every direction. Consequently, stable structures for ionic compounds result (1) when ions of one charge are surrounded by as many ions as possible of the opposite...
