Electric Field Generation and Control of Bipartite Quantum Entanglement between Electronic Spins in Mixed Valence Polyoxovanadate [GeV14O40]8–
2017
As part of the search for systems in which control of quantum entanglement can be achieved, here we consider the paramagnetic mixed valence polyoxometalate K2Na6[GeV14O40]·10H2O in which two electrons are delocalized over the 14 vanadium ions. Applying a homogeneous electric field can induce an antiferromagnetic coupling between the two delocalized electronic spins that behave independently in the absence of the field. On the basis of the proposed theoretical model, we show that the external field can be used to generate controllable quantum entanglement between the two electronic spins traveling over a vanadium network of mixed valence polyoxoanion [GeV14O40]8–. Within a simplified two-lev…
Electric field control of the optical properties in magnetic mixed-valence molecules
2014
We propose the use of an electric field stimulus to strongly affect the optical properties of ferromagnetic mixed-valence (MV) dimers. This proposal is based on the prediction of an anomalous Stark effect in the intervalence absorption bands of these multi-electron MV systems. As distinguished from the conventional Stark effect observed in one-electron dimers, a strong change of the intervalence bands accompanies the crossing of the different spin levels caused by the application of an electric field. This new effect can be referred to as giant spin-dependent Stark effect. In spintronics this opens up the possibility for optical detection of the spin state in these magnetic molecules.
New alkoxo-bridged mixed-valence cobalt clusters: Synthesis, crystal structures and magnetic properties
2008
Two new Co II /Co III complexes, [{Co II Co III (mea) 3 } 2 (bpe) 3 ](ClO 4 ) 4 · 1.5CH 3 OH · 1.5H 2 O ( 1 ) and [ Co 4 II Co 3 III ( dea ) 6 ( CH 3 COO ) 3 ] ( ClO 4 ) 0.75 ( CH 3 COO ) 1.25 · 0.5 H 2 O ( 2 ) [Hmea = monoethanolamine H 2 dea = diethanolamine and bpe = 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethane], have been obtained by reacting cobalt(II) perchlorate ( 1 and 2 ), Hmea ( 1 )/H 2 dea ( 2 ), bpe ( 1 ) and sodium acetate ( 2 ). The crystal structures of 1 and 2 have been solved by single crystal X-ray diffraction. Crystal 1 contains “Chinese lantern”-like shaped cations, resulting by connecting two {Co II Co III (mea) 3 } moieties with three flexible bpe ligands. The coordination sphere of the …
Molecular Materials from Polyoxometalates
2006
The present article highlights recent results and provide a perspective of the interest of polyoxometalates as inorganic component of molecular materials with active physical properties. Three different aspects will be presented: i) The interest of the magnetic and mixed valence clusters provided by polyoxometalate chemistry in molecular magnetism; ii) The use of these inorganic anions as magnetic component of crystalline conducting materials based on organic donor molecules; iii) The construction of well-organized films of polyoxometalate monolayers by using the Langmuir-Blodgett technique.
Coexistence of metamagnetism and slow relaxation of magnetization in ammonium hexafluoridorhenate.
2020
The (NH4)2[ReF6] (1) salt was studied by X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, theoretical calculations, and magnetic measurements. 1 crystallizes in the trigonal space group Pm1 (Re–F = 1.958(5) A). In the Raman spectrum of 1, splitting of the observed peaks was observed and correlated to the valence frequencies of vibration of the [ReF6]2− anion. The study of the magnetic properties of 1, through DC and AC magnetic susceptibility measurements, reveals the coexistence of metamagnetism and slow relaxation of magnetization at low temperature, which is unusual in the molecular systems based on the paramagnetic 5d metal ions reported so far.
Understanding the trend in the Curie temperatures ofCo2-based Heusler compounds:Ab initiocalculations
2007
The Curie temperatures for the Heusler compounds Co{sub 2}TiAl, Co{sub 2}VGa, Co{sub 2}VSn, Co{sub 2}CrGa, Co{sub 2}CrAl, Co{sub 2}MnAl, Co{sub 2}MnSn, Co{sub 2}MnSi, and Co{sub 2}FeSi are determined ab initio from the electronic structure obtained with the local-density functional approximation and/or the generalized gradient approximation. Frozen spin spirals are used to model the excited states needed to evaluate the spherical approximation for the Curie temperature. The spherical approximation is found to describe the experimental Curie temperatures very well which, for the compounds selected, extend over the range from 95 to 1100 K; as a function of the valence electron count, they sho…
Modelling electric field control of the spin state in the mixed-valence polyoxometalate [GeV14O40]8−
2013
International audience; : The two-electron reduced mixed-valence polyoxometalate [GeV14O40](8-) presents an unusual paramagnetic behaviour as a consequence of the partial trapping of these electrons. The effect of applying an electric field is that of inducing antiferromagnetic coupling between the two delocalized electronic spins.
Electrically switchable magnetic molecules: inducing a magnetic coupling by means of an external electric field in a mixed-valence polyoxovanadate cl…
2015
International audience; Herein we evaluate the influence of an electric field on the coupling of two delocalized electrons in the mixed-valence polyoxometalate (POM) [GeV14 O40 ](8-) (in short V14 ) by using both a t-J model Hamiltonian and DFT calculations. In absence of an electric field the compound is paramagnetic, because the two electrons are localized on different parts of the POM. When an electric field is applied, an abrupt change of the magnetic coupling between the two delocalized electrons can be induced. Indeed, the field forces the two electrons to localize on nearest-neighbors metal centers, leading to a very strong antiferromagnetic coupling. Both theoretical approaches have…
Biferrocene Amino Acid, a Ferrocenylogoue of Ferrocene Amino Acid: Synthesis, Cross-Linking, and Redox Chemistry
2010
Access of the novel biferrocene amino acid 7 is provided by two different routes, namely, via desymmetrization of a biferrocene and via palladium-catalyzed cross-coupling of two substituted ferrocenes. The dissymmetric biferrocene 7 is head−head coupled to ureylene-bridged bis(biferrocene) 9 and also head−tail coupled to amide-bridged bis(biferrocene) 14. The monomer 7 and the dimers 9 and 14 are oxidized to mixed-valent cations 7+, 9+, 92+, and 142+. The valencies are trapped in the solid state as shown by Mossbauer and EPR spectroscopy and by X-ray diffraction analysis of [7](I3). Paramagnetic NMR shift studies (7 → 7+) suggest that the hole is localized at the N-substituted ferrocene uni…
Iso-valence Co(II) and mixed-valence Co(II/III) tetranuclear complexes: Synthesis, structure, magnetic properties and DFT study
2013
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…
