A family of MnIIILnIII strictly dinuclear complexes of general formula [MnIII(μ-L)(μ-OMe)(NO3)LnIII(NO3)2(MeOH)] (LnIII = Gd, Dy, Er, Ho) has been assembled in a one pot synthesis from a polydentate, multipocket aminobis(phenol)ligand [6,6'-{(2-(1-morpholyl)ethylazanediyl)bis(methylene)}bis(2-methoxy-4-methylphenol)], Mn(NO3)2·4H2O, Ln(NO3)3· nH2O, and NEt3 in MeOH. These compounds represent the first examples of fully structurally and magnetically characterized dinuclear MnIIILnIII complexes. Single X-ray diffraction studies reveal that all complexes are isostructural, consisting of neutral dinuclear molecules where the MnIII and LnIII metal ions, which exhibit distorted octahedral MnN2O4 …

Dilution-Triggered SMM Behavior under Zero Field in a Luminescent Zn2Dy2 Tetranuclear Complex Incorporating Carbonato-Bridging Ligands Derived from Atmospheric CO2 Fixation
The synthesis, structure, magnetic, and luminescence properties of the Zn2Dy2 tetranuclear complex of formula {(mu(3)-CO3)2[Zn(mu-L)Dy(NO3)}(2)}center dot 4CH(3)OH (1), where H2L is the compartmental ligand N,N',N"-trimethyl-N,N"-bis(2-hydroxy-3-methoxy-5-methylbenzyl)diethylenetriamine, are reported. The carbonate anions that bridge two Zn(mu-L)Dy units come from the atmospheric CO2 fixation in a basic medium. Fast quantum tunneling relaxation of the magnetization (QTM) is very effective in this compound, so that single-molecule magnet (SMM) behavior is only observed in the presence of an applied dc field of 1000 Oe, which is able to partly suppress the QTM relaxation process. At variance,…

A Combined Experimental and Theoretical Study on the Magnetic Properties of a Family of Bis(μ‐phenoxido)dicopper(II) Complexes Bearing ω‐[Bis(2‐hydroxy‐3,5‐dimethylbenzyl)amino]alkan‐1‐ol Ligands
Five new neutral bis(μ-phenoxido)dicopper(II) complexes, [Cu2(μ-HL1)2]·3EtOH·H2O (1), [Cu2(μ-HL2)2]·1.65H2O (2), [Cu2(μ-HL3)2(μ-H2O)] (3), [Cu2(μ-HL4)2] (4) and [Cu2(μ-HL5)2(μ-H2O)] (5), were prepared from a family of ω-[bis(2-hydroxy-3,5-dimethylbenzyl)amino]alkan-1-ol ligands (H3L1–H3L5 derived from 2-aminoethanol, 3-aminopropanol, 4-aminobutanol, 5-aminopentanol and 6-aminohexanol, respectively) bearing a [O,N,O,O′] donor set. In complexes 3 and 5, there is also a bridging water molecule between the metallic centres. The copper(II) coordination planes of all these complexes form a roof-like structure (the bridging O atoms are located at the top of the roof). The structural differences fo…
Magnetic Langmuir–Blodgett films of ferritin with different iron loadings
Abstract Magnetic Langmuir–Blodgett multilayers of two ferritin molecules 1 and 2 , containing, respectively, 4220 and 3062 Fe atoms have been prepared by using the adsorption properties of a 6/1 mixed monolayer of dioctadecyldimethylammonium bromide (DODABr) and methyl stearate (SME). Transfer ratios close to unity were reached giving rise to LB films with a strong red colour. Infrared and UV–vis spectroscopy indicates that ferritin molecules are incorporated within the LB films. Magnetic measurements show that the superparamagnetic properties of these molecules are preserved. Thus, a marked hysteresis loop of magnetisation is obtained for LB films of 1 and 2 with a coercive field of 3400 …

The magnetic measurements on the 1D linear chain complex [Fe(cyclam)][Fe(CN)6]·6H2O 1 points out its metamagnetic behavior, where the ferromagnetic interaction operates within the chain and the antiferromagnetic one between chains. The Neel temperature, TN, is 5.5 K and the critical field at 2 K is 1 T. The unexpected ferromagnetic intrachain interaction can…
High-dimensional mixed-valence copper cyanide complexes: Syntheses, structural characterizations and magnetism
International audience; Reactions of CuCl 2 with different CN complexes in presence of a neutral ancillary ligand lead to two novel mixed-valence Cu complexes [Cu II (bpy)Cu I (CN) 3 ] n , 1 (bpy=2,2′-bipyridine) and {[Cu II (tn) 2 ][Cu I 4 (CN) 6 ]} n 2 (tn=1,3-diaminopropane).

One-dimensional iron(III) and two-dimensional iron(III)nickel(II) cyanide-bridged ferromagnetic arrays from hexacyanoferrate(III) and [Ni(cyclam)]2+ building blocks: Synthesis, crystal structure and magnetic properties
Abstract The X-ray structures and magnetic properties of a iron(III) linear chain and a honeycomb-like layered iron(III)-nickel(II) cyanide-bridged compound are reported. The former contains alternating iron sites and unexpected ferromagnetic behaviour, justified on the basis of the axial distortion from regular octahedral geometry of one of the iron ions. The latter is metamagnetic with ferromagnetic intralayers and antiferromagnetic interlayers interactions with a Neel temperature, TN= 7.7 K. The field-induced transition from an antiferro- to a ferromagnetic state takes place at Hc= 5000 G. The antiferromagnetic ordered phase exhibits spin-canting and long range ferromagnetic ordering at …

The adjacent dinuclear units of 2 and 1D polymers of 3 are further connected by hydrogen bonds resultin…
A Combined Experimental and Theoretical Study on Bis(μ‐alkoxo)diiron(III) Complexes with Hydroxybenzylaminoethanol [O,N,O] Donor Ligands: Syntheses, Structures and Magnetic Properties
Three new neutral bis(μ-alkoxo)diiron(III) complexes were prepared from N(R),N-(2-methylene-4,6-di-tert-butylphenol)aminoethan-1-ol ligands (H2L1, R = Me and H2L2, R = H). In these complexes, the ligand wraps around the metal center exhibiting a tridentate facial coordination mode with alkoxo-bridging oxygen, amine nitrogen and phenoxo oxygen donor atoms. In the complex [Fe(acac)L1]2·MeCN (1) acetylacetonato coligand complete the distorted octahedral coordination spheres of the iron(III) ions, whereas in the five-coordinate iron(III) chloride complexes [FeClL1]2 (2) and [FeClL2]2 (3) the ligands induce a geometry that is intermediate between square pyramidal and trigonal bipyramidal. Magnet…
A unique single carboxylate-bridged spin-frustrated chiral Mn(II) metallatriangle.
The reaction between Hmbpymca ligand (prepared in situ from the hydrolysis of 5-methyl-4-cyano-bispyrimidine with NaOH and further neutralization with 2 M HCl) and Mn(ClO(4))(2)·4H(2)O in 1:1 molar ratio afforded the triangulo-trimanganese(II) complex [Mn(3)(bpymca)(3)(H(2)O)(6)]Cl(3)·6H(2)O 1. The chloride anions in this complex come from the HCl used in the neutralization process. The molecular structure of 1 consists of cationic molecular triangles [Mn(3)(μ-mbpymca)(3)(H(2)O)(6)](3+) with C(3) symmetry, chloride anions and crystallization water molecules, all of them involved in an extensive network of hydrogen bonds, leading to a chiral network. Within the [Mn(3)(μ-mbpymca)(3)(H(2)O)(6)…
Two-step spin crossover behaviour in the chiral one-dimensional coordination polymer [Fe(HAT)(NCS)2]∞
Solvated and unsolvated forms of the complex [Fe(HAT)(NCS)2]∞·(nMeOH) (1) (n = 1.5, 0; HAT = 1,4,5,8,9,12-hexaazatriphenylene) were prepared. The structure of 1·(1.5MeOH), measured at 120 K, showed that this system crystallizes in the homochiral P43 tetragonal space group. The solid is constituted of stacks of one-dimensional coordination polymers running along c-axis. All the FeII centres have the same Λ or Δ conformation and are in the LS state at 120 K. In the range of temperatures 10–300 K the magnetic properties of 1·(1.5MeOH) shows the occurrence of reversible spin crossover behaviour. However, above ca. 310 K complete desolvation of 1·(1.5MeOH) to give 1 was observed from crystal str…

The coordination polymers {[Ni(CN)4]2[(Ni(NH3)2)2(bpym)]·2H2O}n1 and {[Cu2(CN)2(bpym)]·NH3}n2 have been prepared from the reactions of M(NO3)2·nH2O [Cu(II), n = 3 and M = Ni(II), n = 6] with NaCN and bpym (2,2′-bipyrimidine) in concentrated aqueous ammonia, respectively. The structure of 1 is made of bipyrimidine bridged centrosymmetric dinuclear [Ni(NH3)2(μ-bpym)Ni(NH3)2] fragments connected by four [Ni(CN)4]2− anions giving rise to a 2D framework.

Abstract Two polymorphs Ni(II) complexes {[Ni(meso-CTH)(μ1,5-dca)]ClO4}n (1) and [Ni(meso-CTH)][Ni(meso-CTH)(dca)2](ClO4)2 (2) have been obtained in the same synthesis from dicyanamide (dca) and [Ni(meso-CTH)](ClO4)2 and have been characterized by X-ray crystallography and magnetic measurements. Complex 1 is a 1D cationic polymeric zig-zag chain with single end-to-end dca bridges connecting Ni(II) ions in trans positions, whereas in compound 2 coexist two different types of Ni(II) mononuclear units, cationic square-planar and neutral octahedral.

Two Polymorphic Forms of a Six-Coordinate Mononuclear Cobalt(II) Complex with Easy-Plane Anisotropy: Structural Features, Theoretical Calculations, and Field-Induced Slow Relaxation of the Magnetization.
A mononuclear cobalt(II) complex [Co(3,5-dnb)2(py)2(H2O)2] {3,5-Hdnb = 3,5-dinitrobenzoic acid; py = pyridine} was isolated in two polymorphs, in space groups C2/c (1) and P21/c (2). Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses reveal that 1 and 2 are not isostructural in spite of having equal formulas and ligand connectivity. In both structures, the Co(II) centers adopt octahedral {CoN2O4} geometries filled by pairs of mutually trans terminal 3,5-dnb, py, and water ligands. However, the structures of 1 and 2 disclose distinct packing patterns driven by strong intermolecular O-H···O hydrogen bonds, leading to their 0D→2D (1) or 0D→1D (2) extension. The resulting two-dimensional layers and one-…
A Rational Design for Imidazolate-Bridged Linear Trinuclear Compounds from Mononuclear Copper(II) Complexes with 2-[((Imidazol-2-ylmethylidene)amino)ethyl]pyridine (HL): Syntheses, Structures, and Magnetic Properties of [Cu(L)(hfac)M(hfac)2Cu(hfac)(L)] (M = ZnII, CuII, MnII)
Two mononuclear copper(II) complexes with the unsymmetrical tridentate ligand 2-[((imidazol-2-ylmethylidene)amino)ethyl]pyridine (HL), [Cu(HL)(H2O)](ClO4)2.2H2O (1) and [Cu(HL)Cl2] (2), have been prepared and characterized. The X-ray analysis of 2 revealed that the copper(II) ion assumes a pentacoordinated square pyramidal geometry with an N3Cl2 donor set. When 1 and 2 are treated with an equimolecular amount of potassium hydroxide, the deprotonation of the imidazole moiety promotes a self-assembled process, by coordination of the imidazolate nitrogen atom to a Cu(II) center of an adjacent unit, leading to the polynuclear complexes [[Cu(L)(H2O)](ClO4)]n (3) and [[Cu(L)Cl].2H2O]n (4). Variab…
Slow magnetic relaxation and water oxidation activity of dinuclear CoIICoIII and unique triangular CoIICoIICoIII mixed-valence complexes
Construction of efficient multifunctional materials is one of the greatest challenges of our time. We herein report the magnetic and catalytic characterization of dinuclear [CoIIICoII(HL1)2(EtOH)(H2O)]Cl·2H2O (1) and trinuclear [CoIIICoII2(HL2)2(L2)Cl2]·3H2O (2) mixed valence complexes. Relevant structural features of the complexes have been mentioned to correlate with their magnetic and catalytic properties. Unique structural features, especially in terms of significant distortions around the CoII centre(s), prompted us to test both spin–orbit coupling (SOC) and zero field splitting (ZFS) methodologies for the systems. The positive sign of D values has been established from X-band EPR spec…
Magnetic Langmuir-Blodgett films of ferritin with different iron contents.
Magnetic Langmuir-Blodgett films of four ferritin derivatives with different iron contents containing 4220, 3062, 2200, and 1200 iron atoms, respectively, have been prepared by using the adsorption properties of a 6/1 mixed monolayer of methyl stearate (SME) and dioctadecyldimethylammonium bromide (DODA). The molecular organization of the mixed SME/DODA monolayer is strongly affected by the presence of the water-soluble protein in the subphase as shown by pi-A isotherms, BAM images, and imaging ellipsometry at the water-air interface. BAM images reveal the heterogeneity of this mixed monolayer at the air-water interface. We propose that the ferritin is located under the mixed matrix in thos…

The reaction of H(2)L (N,N'-dimethyl-N,N'-bis(2-hydroxy-3-methoxy-5-methylbenzyl)-ethylenediamine) with different copper salts, in methanol and using a H(2)L/Cu = 2 : 3 molar ratio, led to four new bis(μ-diphenoxo)-bridged Cu(3) complexes of general formula [{Cu(S)(μ-L)}(2)Cu(H(2)O)(2n)]X(2) (S = CH(3)OH, n = 1 and X = BF(4)(-) for (1) or ClO(4)(-) for (2); S = Br(3)(-) anion and n = 1 without any X species for (3); S = H(2)O, n = 0 and X = NO(3)(-) for (4)). The use in the same reaction conditions of 4,4'-bipyridine (4,4'-bipy) as connector led to the chain complex [{Cu(μ-4,4'-bipy)(0.5)(μ-L)}(2)Cu(H(2)O)(2n)](ClO(4))(2)·17H(2)O (5). The structure of the centrosymmetric trinuclear unit in …
A Novel One-Dimensional Cyano-Bridged Ni3Fe2 Ferromagnet Constructed from Bimetallic Molecular Squares
Reaction of the complex [Ni(rac-CTH)](2+) (rac-CTH = rac-5,7,7,12,14,14-hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane) with [Fe(CN)(6)](3-) leads to a novel cyano-bridged Ni(3)Fe(2) complex, [[Ni(rac-CTH)](3)[Fe(CN)(6)](2)](4). The structure consists of an alternating arrangement of [Fe(CN)(6)Ni(rac-CTH)](2) squares and trans-planar [Ni(rac-CTH)](2+) units bridged by cyanide groups to give a neutral 1D chain running along the a axis. Magnetic measurements reveal the occurrence of ferromagnetic coupling between Fe(III) and Ni(II) ions and 3D magnetic ordering at 3 K due to interchain interactions. Canting of the moments is inferred from the low value of the magnetization of the saturation bel…
Novel Bimetallic-Dicyanamide Extended Two- and Three-Dimensional Networks through [Cu(rac-CTH)]2+ Cation Templation
Reaction of [Cu(rac-CTH)]2+ with dicyanamide and Mn2+ or Fe2+ produces three bimetallic extended structures. Complexes 1 and 2, both obtained in the same reaction pot, consist of two different (4,4) two-dimensional (2D) layers, with the [Cu(rac-CTH)(dca)]+ cations noncoordinated and coordinated to the Mn(μ1,5-dca) network for 1 and 2, respectively (rac-CTH = racemic-5,5,7,12,12,14-hexamethyl-1,4,8,11-tetraazacyclotetradecane). Complex 2 shows an unusual monodentate coordination mode through the central amide nitrogen of the dca ligand which is first reported for a polynuclear complex. The structure of 3 consists of a three-dimensional network which can be described as a stacking of layers m…
Anion encapsulation promoted by anion⋯π interactions in rationally designed hexanuclear antiferromagnetic wheels: synthesis, structure and magnetic properties
The reaction of Kpymca (pymca = pyrimidine-2-carboxylato anion) with MX2·6H2O and tmda (N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylethylenediamine) in 1 : 3 : 3 molar ratio, using a MeOH/water mixture (3 : 1) as solvent, afforded the hexanuclear complexes [M6(µ-pymca)6(tmda)6]X6·4H2O (M = NiII, X = ClO4−1, BF4−2; M = CoII, X = ClO4−3). The reaction of pymca with either Cu(ClO4)2·6H2O or Cu(BF4)2·6H2O did not lead to any definite product. However, in the presence of strong coordinating chloride anions the linear tetranuclear complex [Cu4(µ-pymca)3Cl(H2O)](ClO4)4·4.5H2O 4 could be obtained. The structures of 1–3 are very similar and consist of wheel-shaped hexanuclear [M6(µ-pymca)6(tmda)6]6+ cations, with pseudo-D…
Iso-valence Co(II) and mixed-valence Co(II/III) tetranuclear complexes: Synthesis, structure, magnetic properties and DFT study
Abstract The reaction of Co(ClO4)2·6H2O with symmetrical N4O3 coordinating heptadentate ligand (H3L) in presence of triethylamine yielded cobalt(II) tetranuclear complexes [Co4(L)2](ClO4)2, 1. When the same reaction is carried out with sodium azide instead of triethylamine afforded tetranuclear mixed-valence Co(II/III) species, [Co4(L)2(μ1,3–N3)2](ClO4)2, 2. Here L3− is the deprotonated form of 2,6-bis[{{(1-hydroxy-2-methylpropan-2-yl)(pyridine-2-ylmethyl)}amino}methyl]-4-methylphenol. Complex 1 crystallizes in the cubic system, space group Fd-3c, with unit-cell parameters a = b = c = 43.320(5) A, Z = 48, whereas complex 2 crystallizes in the space group I41/a in the tetragonal crystal syst…

Two C3-symmetric Dy3 III complexes with triple di-μ-methoxo-μ-phenoxo bridges, magnetic ground state, and single-molecule magnetic behavior
Two series of isostructural C3-symmetric Ln3 complexes Ln3·[BPh4] and Ln3·0. 33[Ln(NO3)6] (in which LnIII=Gd and Dy) have been prepared from an amino-bis(phenol) ligand. X-ray studies reveal that LnIII ions are connected by one μ2-phenoxo and two μ3-methoxo bridges, thus leading to a hexagonal bipyramidal Ln3O5 bridging core in which LnIII ions exhibit a biaugmented trigonal-prismatic geometry. Magnetic susceptibility studies and ab initio complete active space self-consistent field (CASSCF) calculations indicate that the magnetic coupling between the DyIII ions, which possess a high axial anisotropy in the ground state, is very weakly antiferromagnetic and mainly dipolar in nature. To redu…
Stepwise formation of a pentanuclear Ni4Cu heterometallic complex exhibiting a vertex-sharing defective double-cubane core and diphenoxo- and phenoxo/azide bridging groups: a magnetostructural and DFT theoretical study.
Sequential reaction of a N5O3 octadentate tripodal ligand with Ni(2+) and subsequently with Cu(2+) and azide ligand afforded the first example of a heterobridged (phenoxo/μ(1,1)-azido) pentanuclear heterometallic (Ni4Cu) compound, which exhibits a centrosymmetric vertex-sharing defective double-cubane structure. The study of the magnetic properties reveals that the compound shows ferromagnetic interaction interactions, leading to an S = 9/2 spin ground state. Density functional theory calculations on the X-ray structure and model compounds predict ferromagnetic interactions through the magnetic exchange pathways involving each couple of metal ions.
Architecture dependence on the steric constrains of the ligand in cyano-bridged copper(I) and copper(II)-copper(I) mixed-valence polymer compounds containing diamines: crystal structures and spectroscopic and magnetic properties.
A family of cyano-bridged copper(II)-copper(I) mixed-valence polymers containing diamine ligands of formula [Cu(pn)(2)][Cu(2)(CN)(4)] (1, pn = 1,2-propanediamine), [Cu(2)(CN)(3)(dmen)] (2, dmen = N,N-dimethylethylenediamine), and [Cu(3)(CN)(4)(tmen)] (3, tmen = N,N,N',N'-tetramethylethylenediamine) have been prepared with the aim of analyzing how their architecture may be affected by steric constraints imposed by the diamine ligands. In the absence of diamine and with use of the voluminous NEt(4)(+) cation, the copper(I) polymer [NEt(4)][Cu(2)(CN)(3)] (4) forms. The structure of 1 consists of a three-dimensional diamond-related anionic framework host, [Cu(2)(CN)(4)](2-), and enclathrated [C…
Single-molecule magnet behavior and magnetocaloric effect in ferromagnetically coupled LnIII-NiII-NiII-LnIII (LnIII = DyIII and GdIII) linear complexes
New types of linear tetranuclear LnIII-NiII-NiII-LnIII (LnIII = Dy (1), Gd (2)) complexes have been prepared using the multidentate ligand N,N′-bis(3-methoxysalicylidene)-1,3-diaminobenzene, which has two sets of NO and OO′ coordination pockets that are able to selectively accommodate NiII and LnIII ions, respectively. The X-ray structure analysis reveals that the NiII ions are bridged by phenylenediimine groups forming a 12-membered metallacycle in the central body of the complex, whereas the LnIII ions are located at both sides of the metallacycle and linked to the NiII ions by diphenoxo bridging groups. Phenylenediimine and diphenoxo bridging groups transmit ferromagnetic exchange intera…
Ferromagnetic dinuclear mixed-valence Mn(II)/Mn(III) complexes: building blocks for the higher nuclearity complexes. structure, magnetic properties, and density functional theory calculations.
A series of six mixed-valence Mn(II)/Mn(III) dinuclear complexes were synthesized and characterized by X-ray diffraction. The reactivity of the complexes was surveyed, and structures of three additional trinuclear mixed-valence Mn(III)/Mn(II)/Mn(III) species were resolved. The magnetic properties of the complexes were studied in detail both experimentally and theoretically. All dinuclear complexes show ferromagnetic intramolecular interactions, which were justified on the basis of the electronic structures of the Mn(II) and Mn(III) ions. The large Mn(II)-O-Mn(III) bond angle and small distortion of the Mn(II) cation from the ideal square pyramidal geometry were shown to enhance the ferromag…
