Exchange Coupling Mediated by N–H···Cl Hydrogen Bonds: Experimental and Theoretical Study of the Frustrated Magnetic System in Bis(o-phenylenediamine)nickel(II) Chloride
The title compound crystallizes in the monoclinic P2(1)/c space group with a = 11.2470(3) A, b = 5.9034(2) A, c = 12.0886(3) A, β = 115.143(1)°, and V = 726.58(4) A(3) and consists of discrete monomeric NiCl(2)(o-phenylendiamine)(2) molecules. Each o-phen ligand coordinates in a bidentate mode with the chloride ions occupying trans positions in the resulting tetragonally distorted octahedral coordination sphere. Two discrete sets of N-H···Cl hydrogen bonds link the octahedral molecules into a two-dimensional network, with type 1 interactions linking adjacent monomers along the c axis and type 2 interactions linking monomers along the diagonals in the bc plane. Analysis of the magnetic data …
(NBu4)Ni(mnt)2: A novel bistable high temperature spin-Peierls-like system
Abstract The title compound, tetrabutylammonium bis(1,2-dimercaptoethene-1,2-dicarbonirtilato-S,S′)-nickel (III) [henceforth (NBu4)Ni(mnt)2] undergoes a hysteretic phase transition that occurs at 172 K upon cooling. Crystallographic studies show that the phase transition is an order–disorder type involving one arm of the NBu 4 + cation. Both phases are monoclinic, space group C2/c with a = 30.860(3), b = 13.804(2), c = 15.678(2) A and β = 115.642(3)° with V = 6020.8(11) A3 at room temperature and with a = 31.073(3), b = 13.928(1), c = 14.414(1) A and β = 115.073(2)° and V = 5652.1(9) A3 at 84 K. In both phases, the anions form non-uniform stacks parallel to the crystallographic c direction.…
Structure and magnetic properties of [(REDA)Cl]2CuCl4 salts: A new series of ferromagnetic layer perovskites
Abstract The preparation, structure and magnetic properties of two mono- N -substituted ethylenediammonium copper chloride salts are reported. Both [(MEDA)Cl] 2 CuCl 4 and [(EEDA)Cl] 2 CuCl 4 assume monoclinic layered perovskite A 2 CuCl 4 type structures (here MEDA 2+ is the N -methylethylenediammonium dication and EEDA 2+ is the N -ethylethylenediammonium dication). In these structures, planar CuCl 4 2 - ions are linked together into layers of corner-sharing distorted octahedra via semi-coordinate Cu⋯Cl bonds. The magnetic studies reveal the presence of dominant ferromagnetic coupling in both compounds and analysis of the higher temperature data yielded J / k = 19.29(1) K and 19.0(4) K f…
Long‐Range Order in Layered Perovskite Salts – Structure and Magnetic Properties of [(CH 3 ) 2 CHCH 2 NH 3 ] 2 CuX 4 (X = Cl, Br)
The synthesis, structure, and magnetic properties of two new layered perovskite-type copper halide salts are reported. Dominant ferromagnetic coupling is observed with J/k = 14.58(1) and 21.5(4) K for the Cl and Br salts, respectively. For [(iBA)2CuCl4] (1); (iBA = isobutylammonium): P21/c with a = 13.9481(8) A, b = 7.5061(4) A, c = 7.5133(4) A and β = 102.520(1)° with Z = 4. In this structure, planar CuCl42– ions are linked together into layers of corner-sharing distorted octahedra. Ferromagnetic ordering occurs at Tc = 6.5 K for 1 with spin canting. Hysteresis loops show a coercive field of 2 mT with rapid saturation at 2 K that persists up to T = 9 K. The bromide salt is not isomorphous …
