Influence of the covalent grafting of organic radicals to graphene on its magnetoresistance
2013
Graphene was obtained by direct exfoliation of graphite in o-dichlorobenzene (oDCB) or benzylamine, and further functionalized with 4,4′-[(1,3-dioxo-1,3-propanediyl)bis(oxy)]bis[2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-1-piperidinyloxy] (1-TEMPO) organic radicals by using the Bingel–Hirsch cyclopropanation reaction. Here, the use of different solvents permits variation of the density of radicals anchored to the carbon layers. Covalent grafting is unambiguously demonstrated by TGA, μ-Raman, XPS and EPR measurements, which also rule out spurious physisorption. Our transport measurements indicate that the conduction mechanism varies as a function of the density of radicals grafted to the carbon layers. Moreover, t…
Hybrid Magnetic Multilayers by Intercalation of Cu(II) Phthalocyanine in LDH Hosts
2012
The intrinsic flexibility of layered double hydroxides (LDHs) has been here exploited to design hybrid multilayered materials by intercalation of the copper phthalocyaninetetrasulfonate (CuPcTs) complex in the interlamellar space offered by these layered hosts through a simple anion-exchange procedure. Taking advantage of their chemical versatility, two different LDHs, the diamagnetic ZnAl and the ferromagnetic NiAl, have been synthesized and characterized to explore the differences in the magnetic properties of the hybrids introduced by the intercalation of the paramagnetic complex.
