Hybrid molecular magnets incorporating organic donors and other electroactive molecules

1999

Molecule-based bidimensional ferromagnets can be used as anionic hosts for electroactive molecules, with the aim of obtaining multiproperty materials exhibiting in addition to the cooperative magnetism other interesting properties according to the nature of the inserted molecules. In particular, hybrid molecular compounds containing conducting (TTF-type organic donors), bi-stable or non-linear optical species are reported.

A molecular chemical approach to the magnetic multilayers

1999

Abstract Using the bi-dimensional bimetallic networks based upon oxalate complexes, it is possible to prepare new multilayered materials by insertion of ‘electroactive’ molecules in between these layers. According to this approach a new family of compounds presenting alternating ferromagnetic—paramagnetic layers have been successfully prepared. Here we present the magnetic and specific heat characterization.

Confined growth of cyanide-based magnets in two dimensions

2010

Herein we report the first hybrid magnetic material resulting from the intercalation of a cyanide-based molecular magnet into a solid-state layered host. More specifically, the use of a diamagnetic cationic Zn(II)-Al(lII) layered double hydroxide host allows for the formation of an anionic two-dimensional ferromagnetic Ni(II)-Cr(III) Prussian Blue analogue, from the templated assembly of its ionic molecular components in the confined interlamellar space offered by the inorganic host.

Recent Advances of Spin Crossover Research

2004

Thermal spin transition (spin crossover), one of the most fascinating dynamic electronic structure phenomena occurring in coordination compounds of third row transition metal ions, mostly of iron(II), iron(III) and cobalt(II) with critical ligand field strengths competing with the spin pairing energy, has attracted increasing attention by many research groups. One of the reasons is the promising potential for practical applications. In this chapter we intend to cover essential recent work, primarily accomplished within the European research network on "Thermal and Optical Switching of Molecular Spin States (TOSS)". New spin crossover compounds and their thermal spin transition behaviour, al…

Assessment of the CTOCD-DZ methodin a hierarchy of coupled cluster methods

2010

Gauge origin independent calculations of nuclear magnetic shielding tensors are carried out inside the formalism of the continuous transformation of the origin of the current density leading to formal annihilation of its diamagnetic contribution (CTOCD-DZ). We employ the unrelaxed linear response approach with a hierarchy of different coupled cluster methods in order to assess the importance of the level of approximation in the coupled cluster expansion. The basis set dependence of the computed nuclear magnetic shielding constants is also analyzed in the series of correlation consistent basis sets, with the aim of designing optimized basis sets of relatively small size.

Superradiance from crystals of molecular nanomagnets

2002

We show that crystals of molecular nanomagnets can exhibit giant magnetic relaxation due to the Dicke superradiance of electromagnetic waves. Rigorous treatment of the superradiance induced by a field pulse is presented.

Pulsed-field studies of the magnetization reversal in molecular nanomagnets

2004

We report experimental studies of crystals of Mn12 molecular magnetic clusters in pulsed magnetic fields with sweep rates up to 4x10^3 T/s. The steps in the magnetization curve are observed at fields that are shifted with respect to the resonant field values. The shift systematically increases as the rate of the field sweep goes up. These data are consistent with the theory of the collective dipolar relaxation in molecular magnets.

Multiferroics by Rational Design: Implementing Ferroelectricity in Molecule-Based Magnets

2012

Multiferroics (MF) are materials that exhibit simultaneouslyseveral ferroic order parameters. Among the multiferroicmaterials, those combining antiferro- or ferroelectricity (FE)and antiferro-, ferri-, or ferromagnetism (FM) within thesame material are highly desirable: the coexistence of thepolar and magnetic orders paves the way towards four-levelmemories while their interactions through the magnetoelec-tric effect makes it possible to control the magnetization byelectric fields and hence to develop electronically tuneablemagnetic devices, which are an essential feature for spin-tronics.
