A new end-to-end (EE) doubly azido bridged dinuclear complex [Cu 2 L 2 (μ 1,3 -N 3 ) 2 ] (1) [where L=(E)-4-(2-(dimethylamino)ethylimino)-1,1,1-trifluoropentan-2-one)] has been synthesized and characterized by elemental and spectroscopic techniques. Single crystal X-ray diffraction analysis reveals that the dimeric complex possesses a center of inversion. Each copper atom in 1 is in a distorted square pyramidal geometry with a CuN 4 O chromophore as revealed from the τ value, 0.19. The four basal positions are occupied by two imine N and one keto O atom of the Schiff base and one N atom from the azide anion. Another N atom from a coordinated azide occupies the apical position. Temperature dependent magnetic susceptibility of 1 was fitted using the Bleaney–Bowers expression which led to the parameters J=13.6cm −1 and R=3.4×10 −5 . It indicates a ferromagnetic interaction through the double azido bridges connecting the individual copper Schiff base units.
