We presented CAIXA, a Catalogue of AGN in the XMM-Newton Archive, in [1]. It consists of all the radio-quiet X-ray unobscured (N sub(H) < 2 x 10 super(22) cm super(2)) active galactic nuclei (AGN) observed by XMM-Newton in targeted observations, whose data are public as of March 2007. With its 156 sources, this is the largest catalogue of high signal-to-noise X-ray spectra of AGN. All the EPIC pn spectra of the sources in CAIXA were extracted homogeneously and a baseline model was applied in order to derive their basic X-ray properties. These data are complemented by multiwavelength data found in the literature: Black Hole masses, Full Width Half Maximum (FWHM) of H beta , radio and optical fluxes. A systematic search for correlations between the X-ray spectral properties and the multiwavelength data was performed for the sources in CAIXA. We discuss here some of the significant (> 99.9% confidence level) correlations.
