2004

The paper reports on four novel solid-state architectures constructed by using tectons having the general formula:  [Cr(AA)(C2O4)2]- [AA = 2,2‘-bipyridine (bipy) and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen)]. These building blocks are involved in various intermolecular interactions:  coordinative, hydrogen bonds, and π−π contacts. Two new crystallohydrates in the Ba[Cr(AA)(C2O4)2]2·nH2O family have been characterized:  [BaCr2(bipy)2(C2O4)4(H2O)2]·4H2O (1) and [BaCr2(phen)2(C2O4)4(H2O)2] (2). Because of the different numbers of water molecules, their crystal structures are completely different from those of two others previously reported, [BaCr2(bipy)2(C2O4)4(H2O)]·H2O and [BaCr2(phen)2(C2O4)4(H2O)2]·4H2O…

Design of single chain magnets through cyanide-bearing six-coordinate complexes

2005

Abstract The design and preparation of stable cyanide-bearing six-coordinate complexes of formula [MIII(L)(CN)x](x + l − m)− (M = trivalent transition metal ion and L = polydentate blocking ligand) are summarized here. Their use as ligands towards either fully hydrated metal ions or coordinatively unsaturated preformed species, to afford a wide variety of low-dimensional metal assemblies whose nuclearity, dimensionality and magnetic properties can be tuned, is also reviewed. Special emphasis is put on the appropriate choice of the end-cap ligand L whose denticity determines the number of coordinated cyanide groups in the mononuclear precursors. Among the different new spin topologies obtain…

2001

The synthesis and structural characterization of several new cyano-bridged copper(II) and nickel(II) homodinuclear complexes is presented. The measure of magnetic properties for these complexes is complemented with a computational study of the exchange coupling for several model structures representing this family of compounds. The influence of several factors on the coupling constant has been examined, coordination position occupied by the bridging ligand, distortions of the coordination environment, and relative disposition of the cyanide ion with respect to the M-M vector. Comparison of experimental and calculated coupling constants allows for the rationalization of the most relevant fea…

and opened the perspective of a potential useof 1D magnetic molecular nanowires for information storage.Even though 1D magnetism is a very active area of research,such dynamic behavior was never detected before since it isnot clear how to fulfill experimentally the requirements of aperfect 1D Ising-type chain. This finding prompted us to lookcarefully at 1D systems containing anisotropic elements,suchas cobalt(ii) and low-spin iron(iii) centers that we synthesizedrecently,
