A novel 2D coordination polymer consisting of ferromagnetic Ni(ii) chains with alternating double EO-azide bridges and (EO-azide)bis(carboxylate) triple bridges exhibits solvent-modulated metamagnetism, and the reversible dehydration/hydration processes are accompanied by significant changes in critical temperature, critical field and hysteresis.
