The synthesis, structural characterization, and magnetic behavior of a novel one-dimensional azido-bridged manganese(III) complex of formula [Mn(L){sub 2}N{sub 3}] (1) is reported, where HL is the bidentate Schiff base obtained from the condensation of salicylaldehyde with 4-methoxy aniline. Complex 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic system, space group P2{sub 1}/n, with a=11.743(4) A, b=24.986(9) A, c=13.081(5) A, {beta}=95.387(7){sup o} and Z=2. The complex is of one-dimensional chain structure with single end-to-end azido bridges and the manganese(III) ion has an elongated octahedral geometry. Magnetic studies show that the weak antiferromagnetic interaction is mediated by the single end-to-end azido bridge with the exchange parameter J=-5.84 cm{sup -1}. - Graphical abstract: A novel azido-bridged manganese(III) complex with bidentate Schiff base ligands has been prepared and characterized structurally and magnetically. The complex is of one-dimensional chain structure with single end-to-end azido bridges in axial positions. Two bidentate Schiff base ligands coordinate in the equatorial mode. The magnetic measurements show that the complex exhibits weak antiferromagnetic interaction.
