Structural and magnetic characterization of a 1D chain of [Co(II)2(mu-aqua)(mu-carboxylate)2] strung cores.
2009
A novel 1D chain built up from stringing of [Co2(μ-OH 2)(μ-O2CC(CH3)3)2] units with the bridging 2,2′-bipyrimidine ligand has been synthesized and structurally characterized. The chains are well isolated from each other by the bulky tert-butyl groups of the carboxlyates and show an alternating zigzag configuration for the Co(II) metallic centres. DC magnetic measurements show anti-ferromagnetic coupling, Jca.-3 cm-1 between adjacent Co(II) ions along the chain. Noticeably, good data fitting was obtained by means of simple models that neglect any kind of first order orbital contribution to the spin ground state, which is normally observed in Co(II) complexes. These results were further confi…
Dilution-Triggered SMM Behavior under Zero Field in a Luminescent Zn2Dy2 Tetranuclear Complex Incorporating Carbonato-Bridging Ligands Derived from A…
2013
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,…
Hyperpolarized 1H long lived states originating from parahydrogen accessed by rf irradiation
2013
Hyperpolarization has found many applications in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI). However, its usage is still limited to the observation of relatively fast processes because of its short lifetimes. This issue can be circumvented by storing the hyperpolarization in a slowly relaxing singlet state. Symmetrical molecules hyperpolarized by Parahydrogen Induced Hyperpolarization (PHIP) provide a straightforward access to hyperpolarized singlet states because the initial parahydrogen singlet state is preserved at almost any magnetic field strength. In these systems, which show a remarkably long 1H singlet state lifetime of several minutes, the conversion of t…
Co(II) chemistry of 2,6-bis(2-pyridylcarbonyl)pyridine: an icosanuclear Co cluster exhibiting superparamagnetic relaxation.
2006
High-nuclearity transition-metal complexes (clusters) are of special interest in chemistry and physics because, both in terms of size and physical properties, they bridge the gap between the microscopic and macroscopic world, and between quantum and classical systems. In terms of size, the smallest classical nanoparticles fabricated today are the same size as the largest metal clusters that are synthesized by bottom-up methods. In terms of physical properties, certain transition-metal clusters exhibit single-molecule magnetism at low temperatures, that is, they retain their magnetization in zero field in a manner analogous to that of classical macroscopic magnets, but at the same time they …
Field-induced slow relaxation of magnetisation in two one-dimensional homometallic dysprosium(iii) complexes based on alpha- and beta-amino acids.
2020
Two one-dimensional dysprosium(III) complexes based on α-glycine (gly) and β-alanine (β-ala) amino acids, with the formula {[Dy2(gly)6(H2O)4](ClO4)6·5H2O}n (1) and {[Dy2(β-ala)6(H2O)4](ClO4)6·H2O}n (2), have been synthesised and characterised structurally and magnetically. Both compounds crystallise in the triclinic system with the space group P. In 1, two DyIII ions are eight-coordinate and bound to six oxygen atoms from six gly ligands and two oxygen atoms from two water molecules, showing different geometries (bicapped trigonal prism and square antiprism). In 2, two DyIII ions are nine-coordinate and bound to seven oxygen atoms from six β-ala ligands and two oxygen atoms from two water m…
Elastic torsion effects in magnetic nanoparticle diblock-copolymer structures
2011
Magnetic properties of thin composite films, consisting of non-interacting polystyrene-coated γ-Fe(2)O(3) (maghemite) nanoparticles embedded into polystyrene-block-polyisoprene P(S-b-I) diblock-copolymer films are investigated. Different particle concentrations, ranging from 0.7 to 43 wt%, have been used. The magnetization measured as a function of external field and temperature shows typical features of anisotropic superparamagnets including a hysteresis at low temperatures and blocking phenomena. However, the data cannot be reconciled with the unmodified Stoner-Wohlfarth-Néel theory. Applying an appropriate generalization we find evidence for either an elastic torque being exerted on the …
Influence of morphology in the magnetic properties of layered double hydroxides
2018
We report the controlled synthesis of magnetic CoAl and NiFe layered double hydroxides (LDHs) endowed with well-defined morphology (hexagonal and flower-like shapes) by means of modified homogeneous precipitation. These layered magnets display high crystallinity and micrometric size, thus offering a perfect scenario for the elucidation of the role exerted by distortion of the layers in their magnetic behaviour. The magnetic properties have been investigated by means of DC and AC magnetic susceptibility measurements and isothermal magnetization, demonstrating that the distortion of the nanosheets induces a magnetically more disordered behaviour, with marked spin-glass nature, independently o…
Multipactor Effect in a Parallel-Plate Waveguide Partially Filled With Magnetized Ferrite
2014
The aim of this paper is the analysis of the multipactor effect in a parallel-plate waveguide when a ferrite slab, transversally magnetized by a static magnetic field parallel to the waveguide walls, is present. Employing an in-house developed code, numerical simulations are performed to predict the multipactor radio frequency voltage threshold in such a ferrite-loaded waveguide. Variations of the ferrite magnetization field strength and the ferrite slab height are analyzed. Effective electron trajectories are also shown for a better understanding of the breakdown phenomenon, finding different multipactor regimes.
Magnetic properties of GdPdSb and GdNiSb studied by 155Gd-Mössbauer spectroscopy
2009
Abstract 155 Gd-Mossbauer spectroscopy was applied to study the magnetic properties of GdPdSb with hexagonal LiGaGe structure and of GdNiSb in the cubic MgAgAs-type structure as well as in the hexagonal AlB 2 -type structure. In GdPdSb magnetic ordering is observed at 13.0 K with indications of a tilted spin structure at lower temperatures. In the cubic phase of GdNiSb magnetic ordering is observed at 9.5 K and in the hexagonal phase around 3.5 K. These results are discussed in conjunction with previous investigations of these samples.
Ordered mesoporous silicas as host for the incorporation and aggregation of octanuclear nickel(ii) single-molecule magnets: a bottom-up approach to n…
2006
Silica-based mesoporous materials have been employed as the support host for a suitably designed small octanuclear nickel(II) guest complex with a moderately anisotropic S = 4 ground spin state (D = −0.23 cm−1), which behaves as a single-molecule magnet at low temperature (TB = 3.0 K). Both unimodal MCM-41 and bimodal UVM-7 porous silica provide appropriate template conditions for the incorporation and aggregation of the Ni8 complex precursor into larger complex aggregates, showing slow relaxation of the magnetization at higher blocking temperatures than the crystalline material. By playing with the initial complex vs. silica concentration, two series of samples with varying complex loading…
