Magneto-optical Investigations of Nanostructured Materials Based on Single Molecule Magnets Monitor Strong Environmental Effects

The determination of the magnetic properties of molecular magnets in environments similar to those used in spintronic devices is fundamental for the development of applications. Single-molecule magnets (SMMs) are molecular cluster systems that display magnetic hysteresis of dynamical origin at low temperature. As they behave like perfectly monodisperse nanomagnets and show clear macroscopic quantum effects in their magnetic properties, they are extremely appealing candidates for the forthcoming generation of molecular devices: they have been proposed as efficient systems for quantum computation, ultra-high-density magnetic recording media, and molecular spintronic systems. These attractive …

Pressure- and temperature-induced valence tautomeric interconversion in a o-dioxolene adduct of a cobalt-tetraazamacrocycle complex

An electronic switch at the molecular level has been realized by using a class of ionic compounds of the formula [Co(L)(diox)]Y (L = tetraazamacrocyclic ligand, Y = mononegative anion). Such compounds undergo temperature- and pressure-induced intramolecular one-electron transfer equilibria. The transition temperature of interconversion varies with the nature of the counterions Y (Y = PF6, BPh4, I). Surprisingly the effect of the anion on the transition temperature is not only governed by its volume but also by its coulombic interaction.

The azido ligand: a useful tool in designing chain compounds exhibiting alternating ferro- and antiferro-magnetic interactions

A one-pot reaction of NiII 1, CoII 2, FeII 3 and MnII 4 with 2,2A-bipyridine (bipy) and azide in water leads to [M(bipy)(N3)2]n chains where the metal ion is alternatively bridged by double end-on (EO) and end-to-end (EE) azido bridges; theoretical analysis of the variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility data of 1 and 4 reveals the occurrence of intrachain alternating ferro- (through EO) and antiferro-magnetic (through EE) interactions.

Spinpolarisierung und Ferromagnetismus in zweidimensionalen CoII-Schichtpolymeren: [Co(L)2(NCS)2] (L = Pyrimidin, Pyrazin)

Wie vorhergesagt antiferro- und ferromagnetisch sind die beiden Schichtpolymere [Co(NCS)2(pyz)2] 1 bzw. [Co(NCS)2(pym)2] 2 (Strukturausschnitt im Bild). Die Verbindungen sowie der einkernige Komplex [Co(NCS)2(pyd)4] 3, der zu Vergleichszwecken synthetisiert wurde, konnten aus Losungen von Co(NCS)2 und Pyrazin (pyz; 1), Pyrimidin (pym; 2) bzw. Pyridazin (pyd; 3) in Methanol erhalten, strukturell charakterisiert und ihre magnetischen Eigenschaften untersucht werden.

Synthesis, Structure, Spectroscopic Studies and Magnetic Properties of the Tetrakis(5,7‐dichloro‐8‐quinolinolato)gadolinium(III) Complex

The synthesis and structural characterization of the neutral gadolinium tetrakis-type complex with 5,7-dichloro-8-quinolinolato (H5,7ClQ) ligands, [Gd(5,7ClQ)2(H5,7ClQ)2Cl], is reported. The GdIII ion is epta coordinated to one chloride ion and to four ligands: two N,O-chelated monoanions and two as zwitterionic (+NH and O–) monodentate oxygen donors. Electronic and vibrational spectra provide suitable markers to distinguish the presence of deprotonated and protonated ligands. The magnetic behaviour of this compound was investigated and explained by taking into account that π–π stacking interactions between the (H5,7ClQ) ligands give rise to a ferromagnetic interaction between the gadoliniu…
