Hexanuclear NiII4LnIII2 Complexes with SMM Behavior at Zero Field for Ln = Tb, Dy, Ho
2020
A mononuclear Ni(II) complex, [NiL2]·2H2O, was prepared by the reaction of a N2O2 donor monocondensed Schiff base ligand, 2-((3-aminopropylimino)methyl)-6-methoxyphenol (HL), with NiCl2·6H2O. The reaction of this complex with NiCl2·6H2O and LnCl3·6H2O (Ln = Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho) in a 1:1:1 molar ratio leads to four hexanuclear Ni4Ln2 complexes formulated as [{(NiL)2Gd}2(μ2-Cl)2(μ3-OH)4(OH2)4]Cl4·CH3CN·H2O (1), [{(NiL)2Tb}2(μ2-Cl)2Cl2(μ3-OH)4(OH2)2]Cl2·12H2O (2), [{(NiL)2Dy}2(μ2-Cl)2Cl2(μ3-OH)4(OH2)2]Cl2·16H2O (3), and [{(NiL)2Ho}2(μ2-Cl)2(μ3-OH)4(OH2)4]Cl4·CH3CN·1.8H2O (4). The Ln(III) centers are octacoordinated with a triangular-dodecahedral geometry, and the geometries around the Ni(II) center…
C3-symmetric trinuclear copper(ii) species as tectons in crystal engineering
2013
Three new complexes have been obtained using C3-symmetric trinuclear complexes as tectons; [Cu3(felden)(NCS)3(dmf)3] (1), [Cu3(felden)(mand)3]·(C2H5)2O (2), and [Cu3(felden)(dca)3(C2H5OH)]·2H2O (3) (H3felden is the Schiff base resulting from the condensation of 2,4,6-triformylphloroglucinol with N,N-dimethylethylenediamine, mand− is the anion of the R-mandelic acid and dca− is the dicyanamide anion). Compounds 1 and 2 are discrete trinuclear species, while compound 3 is a 2D coordination polymer, constructed from trinuclear nodes and dicyanamido spacers. The variable-temperature magnetic properties of 1–3 have been investigated and they reveal the occurrence of weak antiferromagnetic intera…
A ferromagnetic methoxido-bridged Mn(III) dimer and a spin-canted metamagnetic μ(1,3)-azido-bridged chain.
2012
Two new Mn(III) complexes of formulas [MnL(1)(N(3))(OMe)](2) (1) and [MnL(2)(N(3))(2)](n) (2) have been synthesized by using two tridentate NNO-donor Schiff base ligands HL(1){(2-[(3-methylaminoethylimino)-methyl]-phenol)} and HL(2) {(2-[1-(2-dimethylaminoethylimino)methyl]phenol)}, respectively. Substitution of the H atom on the secondary amine group of the N-methyldiamine fragment of the Schiff base by a methyl group leads to a drastic structural change from a methoxido-bridged dimer (1) to a single μ(1,3)-azido-bridged 1D helical polymer (2). Both complexes were characterized by single-crystal X-ray structural analyses and variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements. The ma…
Asymmetric bis-(μ1,1-azido) bridged dinuclear copper(II) complex with N2O donor Schiff base: synthesis, structure and magnetic study
2015
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…
Influence of the central metal ion in controlling the self-assembly and magnetic properties of 2D coordination polymers derived from [(NiL)2M]2+ node…
2014
Three new 2D coordination polymers (CPs) 2∞[(NiL)2Ni(μ1,5-N(CN)2)2]n (1), 2∞[(NiL)2Cd(μ1,5-N(CN)2)2]n (2) and 2∞[(NiL)2Zn(μ1,5-N(CN)2)2]n (3) have been synthesized by reacting a [NiL] “metalloligand” (where H2L = N,N′-bis(salicylidene)-1,3-propanediamine) with three different metal(II) (Ni, Cd and Zn) perchlorates and sodium dicyanamide, with identical molar ratios of the reactants. All three products have been characterized by IR and UV-Vis spectroscopies, elemental analyses, powder and single crystal X-ray diffraction and variable temperature magnetic measurements. The isomorphous compounds 1 and 2 consist of similar [(NiL)2M(μ1,5-N(CN)2)] (M = Ni for 1 and Cd for 2) angular trinuclear un…
An original 1D Cu–Co heterometallic compound: synthesis, structure and magnetic properties
2006
A novel heterobimetallic system, 1∞[LCuIICoII(NCS)2] (1), was obtained by reacting the neutral mononuclear complex [LCu] with cobalt(II) acetate in the presence of potassium thiocyanate (L is the dianion of the Schiff base resulting from the 2 ∶ 1 condensation of 3-methoxysalicylaldehyde with 1,3-propanediamine). The crystallographic investigation of 1 reveals a one-dimensional alternating zig-zag chain-like structure, made of dinuclear {LCuCo} units linked by thiocyanate bridges. The copper(II) ion is pentacoordinate to the N2O2 donor set of the Schiff base ligand in the basal plane, with the apical position occupied by the sulfur atom. The cobalt ion displays a strongly distorted (4 + 2) …
Stabilizing spin spirals and isolated skyrmions at low magnetic field exploiting vanishing magnetic anisotropy
2018
Skyrmions are topologically protected non-collinear magnetic structures. Their stability is ideally suited to carry information in, e.g., racetrack memories. The success of such a memory critically depends on the ability to stabilize and manipulate skyrmions at low magnetic fields. The non-collinear Dzyaloshinskii-Moriya interaction originating from spin-orbit coupling drives skyrmion formation. It competes with Heisenberg exchange and magnetic anisotropy favoring collinear states. Isolated skyrmions in ultra-thin films so far required magnetic fields as high as several Tesla. Here, we show that isolated skyrmions in a monolayer of Co/Ru(0001) can be stabilized down to vanishing fields. Eve…
Protein diffusion through charged nanopores with different radii at low ionic strength
2014
[EN] The diffusion of two similar molecular weight proteins, bovine serum albumin (BSA) and bovine haemoglobin (BHb), through nanoporous charged membranes with a wide range of pore radii is studied at low ionic strength. The effects of the solution pH and the membrane pore diameter on the pore permeability allow quantifying the electrostatic interaction between the chargedpore and the protein. Because of the large screening Debye length, both surface and bulk diffusion occur simultaneously. By increasing the pore diameter, the permeability tends to the bulk self-diffusion coefficient for each protein. By decreasing the pore diameter, the charges on the pore surface electrostatically hinder …
Interactions between a humic acid and a paramagnetic cation as assessed by CPMAS 13C NMR spectroscopy
2009
Humic substances (HSs) are natural organic materials playing a very important role in environment due to their ability in interacting with organic and inorganic compounds. From the one side, HSs can reduce the toxic effects of organic and inorganic contaminants, while, from the other side, they can enhance availability of nutrients, such as cations, to living organisms including plants. For this reason it is very crucial to understand the mechanisms of the interactions between humic substances and the environmentally relevant chemical components. In the present work, we have investigated the mechanisms of interaction between a HS and iron (III) by using cross polarization magic angle spinni…
Nickel(II) 3,4;9,10-perylenediimide bis-phosphonate pentahydrate: A metal-organic ferromagnetic dye
2012
The new metal organic compound nickel(II) 3,4;9,10-perylenediimide bis-phosphonate pentahydrate, i.e. Ni-2[(PDI-BP)-(H2O)(2)]center dot 3H(2)O (1), has been synthesized and its structural and magnetic properties have been studied. Reaction of 3,4;9,10-perylenediimide bisphosphonate (PDI-BP, hereafter) ligand and nickel chloride in water resulted in the precipitation of a red and poorly crystalline solid (1). As the solid shows a poor crystalline organization of aggregates, the energy dispersive X-ray diffraction analysis (EDXD) technique has been used to obtain short-range order structural information of the single nanoaggregates by radial distribution function analysis. The overall structu…
