Coexistence of Spin Canting and Metamagnetism in a One-Dimensional Mn(III) Complex Bridged by a Single End-to-End Azide

Two manganese(III) azide complexes capped with tetradentate
Schiff bases were characterized structurally and magnetically. The
replacement of halogens on the Schiff bases leads to a drastic
structural alteration from a dimer (1) bridged by phenoxide to a
one-dimensional chain (2) linked by azide in a single end-to-end
mode. Notably, magnetic studies of 2 show the concomitant
existence of spin canting and metamagnetism.
