Di-μ-azido-κ(4)N:N-bis-({2-[(3-amino-2,2-dimethyl-prop-yl)imino-meth-yl]-6-meth-oxy-phenolato-1κ(3)N,N',O(1)}copper(I
Abstract:
The complete mol-ecule of the title complex, [Cu(2)(C(13)H(19)N(2)O(2))(2)(N(3))(2)], is generated by the application of a centre of inversion. The central Cu(2)N(2) core is a rhombus as the μ(2)-azide ligands bridge in an asymmetric fashion. Each Cu(II) atom is also coordinated by a monoanionic tridentate Schiff base ligand via the anti-cipated oxide O, imine N and amine N atoms. The resulting N(4)O coordination geometry is based on a square pyramid. No specific inter-molecular inter-actions are noted in the crystal packing, but the amine H atoms form intra-molecular N-H⋯O(oxide)/N(azide) hydrogen bonds.

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.

The nitrous acid is unstable. Hence, it is formed in situ from a solution of sodium nitrite and cold aqueous acids such as hydrochloric or sulfuric acid. In an acidic solution, the –OH group of nitrous acid undergoes protonation to give oxonium ion, followed by water loss...
