Spin-canting and weak ferromagnetism in two novel 1D alternating chains with single cis-end-to-end azido bridges

By combining trans-4-styrylprydine (tsp) with azide system, we obtained two rare 1D cis-EE-azido-bridged compounds of [M2(N3)4(tsp)4(H2O)2] [M = Mn (1), Co (2)]. The magnetic study reveals that metal ions are anti-ferromagnetically coupled by cis-EE-azido-bridges and they show weak ferromagnetism below 4.0 K (1) and 4.2 K (2) due to the spin-canting caused by asymmetric magnetic interaction.
