title: One-dimensional metal-azido complex constructed by a double EO azido bridged trinuclear nickel(II) unit: synthesis, structure and magnetic properties.
abstract: The hydrothermal reaction of Ni(NO(3))(2).6H(2)O, NaN(3) phenanthroline and nicotinic acid yielded a one-dimensional (1D) complex, [Ni(1.5)(N(3))(2)(phen)(nic)](n) (1) (phen = phenanthroline, nic = nicotinate), which is a new example of the named orbital countercomplementarity-like complex. In 1, the nicotinate shows mu(3)-nic-N,O,O coordination mode, and the azide groups adopt mu(1,1) bridging mode linking Ni(II) ions to form a rare trinuclear Ni(II) unit bridged by a double mu(1,1) azido.
