Abstract Low dimensional (LD) organic metal halide hybrids (OMHHs) have recently emerged as new generation functional materials with exceptional structural and property tunability. Despite the remarkable advances in the development of LD OMHHs, optical properties have been the major functionality extensively investigated for most of LD OMHHs developed to date, while other properties, such as magnetic and electronic properties, remain significantly under‐explored. Here, we report for the first time the characterization of the magnetic and electronic properties of a 1D OMHH, organic‐copper (II) chloride hybrid (C 8 H 22 N 2 )Cu 2 Cl 6 . Owing to the antiferromagnetic coupling between Cu atoms through chloride bridges in 1D [Cu 2 Cl 6 2− ] chains, (C 8 H 22 N 2 )Cu 2 Cl 6 is found to exhibit antiferromagnetic ordering with a Néel temperature of 24 K. The two‐terminal (2T) electrical measurement on a (C 8 H 22 N 2 )Cu 2 Cl 6 single crystal reveals its insulating nature. This work shows the potential of LD OMHHs as a highly tunable quantum material platform for spintronics.
