An unusual magnetic response in a π-stacked 66-dia net structure of [4 + 2] copper(II) cubane
A phenoxo bridged antiferromagnetic copper(II) cubane features a π-stacked 66-dia net framework and creates long range ferromagnetic ordering, as evidenced from a coercivity maximum (∼2000 Oe) at 20 K with very unusual saturation magnetization.
Field-induced ferromagnetism due to magneto-striction in 1-D helical chains
Two homochiral copper(II) helices, [Cu(μ1,3-N3)(L1)]n (1) and [Cu(μ1,3-NCO)(L2)]n (2), with end-to-end pseudohalide bridges, were synthesized using two N2O donor achiral Schiff bases via spontaneous chiral resolution. Field-induced ferromagnetic ordering due to magneto-striction in homochiral 1-D helix [Cu(μ1,3-N3)(L1)]n (1) is reported for the first time. At temperatures below 5.5 K, under a magnetic field of 1 T, orthogonality between the magnetic orbitals of copper centres increases significantly due to the contraction of lattice parameters, giving rise to long-range ferromagnetic ordering in the helical chain. The magneto-dielectric results are also indicative of the observed magneto-st…
Asymmetric bis-(μ1,1-azido) bridged dinuclear copper(II) complex with N2O donor Schiff base: synthesis, structure and magnetic study
A copper(II) complex, [Cu2(L)2(N3)2] [where HL = 2-((3-(methylamino)propylimino)methyl)-6-methoxyphenol] has been synthesized and characterized by elemental analysis, IR, UV–vis and fluorescence spectroscopy, and single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. The complex crystallizes in the trigonal space group R. The deprotonated tridentate Schiff base occupies three coordination sites of copper(II). The fourth coordination site is occupied by an azide. A symmetry-related azide from a different molecule coordinates with the fifth site of copper(II), thereby forming a double end-on azide-bridged centrosymmetric dimer. Variable temperature solid–state magnetic studies between 2 and 300 K were car…
