2,2′-Oxydiacetato-bridged complexes containing Sm(III) and bivalent cations. Synthesis, structure, magnetic properties and chemical speciation
2006
Abstract Heterometallic compounds containing Sm(III), bivalent cations M (M = Cu, Ni, Co, Mn, Ca, Mg), and 2′,2′-oxydiacetate (oda) as connecting ligand have been prepared and characterized. The complexes can be formulated as [Sm 2 M 3 (oda) 6 ] · xH 2 O. The structure of [Sm 2 Cu 3 (oda) 6 (H 2 O) 6 ] shows the presence of the Sm(III) coordinated by six carboxy and three ether oxygen atoms, and the Cu(II) cation bonded to four carboxy oxygens and two molecules of water. An open 3D framework is observed, containing large hexagonal channels. At room temperature, the polynuclear complexes behave as built by magnetically isolated paramagnetic ions, but at low temperatures, very weak antiferrom…

Dynamics of BF 4 - anion reorientation in the spin-crossover compound [Fe(1-n-propyl-1H-tetrazole) 6 ](BF 4 ) 2 and in its Zn II analogue
1999
19 F and 11 B spin-lattice relaxation times were measured in [ Zn ( ptz ) 6 ] ( BF 4 ) 2 and in the spin-crossover compound [ Fe ( ptz ) 6 ] ( BF 4 ) 2 . For both compounds BF 4 - anion reorientation is active above 50 K. For [ Zn ( ptz ) 6 ] ( BF 4 ) 2 , the anion-reorientation dynamics is different in the temperature regions of 50-90 K, 90-120 K, and above 150 K; between 120 and 150 K it changes rapidly reflecting a structural change. In [ Fe ( ptz ) 6 ] ( BF 4 ) 2 the mechanism for the paramagnetic relaxation involving the 19 F nuclei is found to be of the diffusion-limited type according to the theory of Lowe and Tse. The present results prove that the spin-crossover takes place in a dy…
Spectroscopic Signature of the Superparamagnetic Transition and Surface Spin Disorder in CoFe2O4 Nanoparticles
2012
Phonons are exquisitely sensitive to finite length scale effects in a wide variety of materials. To investigate confinement in combination with strong magnetoelastic interactions, we measured the infrared vibrational properties of CoFe(2)O(4) nanoparticles and compared our results to trends in the coercivity over the same size range and to the response of the bulk material. Remarkably, the spectroscopic response is sensitive to the size-induced crossover to the superparamagnetic state, which occurs between 7 and 10 nm. A spin-phonon coupling analysis supports the core-shell model. Moreover, it provides an estimate of the magnetically disordered shell thickness, which increases from 0.4 nm i…
An unprecedented hetero-bimetallic three-dimensional spin crossover coordination polymer based on the tetrahedral [Hg(SeCN)4]2− building block
2019
[EN] Self-assembly of octahedral FeII ions, trans-1,2-bis(4-pyridyl) ethane (bpe) bridging ligands and [Hg(XCN)(4)](2-) (X = S (1), Se (2)) tetrahedral building blocks has afforded a new type of hetero-bimetallic Hg-II-Fe-II spin-crossover (SCO) 3D 6,4-connected coordination polymer (CP) formulated {Fe(bpe)[Hg(XCN)(4)]}(n). For X = S (1), the ligand field is close to the crossing point but 1 remains paramagnetic over all temperatures. In contrast, for X = Se (2) the complex undergoes complete thermal induced SCO behaviour centred at T-1/2 = 107.8 K and complete photoconversion of the low spin state into a metastable high-spin state (LIESST effect) with T-LIESST = 66.7 K. The current results…
Structural and magnetic diversity in metal-dicyanamido polymer moieties: Paramagnetic and antiferromagnetic 1D chain compound and weakly ferromagneti…
2009
Abstract The reaction of M(NO 3 ) 2 · x H 2 O (M = Cu, Ni and Co; x = 3 for Cu and x = 6 for Co/Ni), imidazole (Im) and sodium dicyanamide (dca) afforded the complexes [M(Im) 2 (dca) 2 ] (where M = Cu for 1 , M = Ni for 2 , and M = Co for 3 ). All of them have been characterized structurally by single crystal X-ray diffraction measurements. X-ray analysis reveals that the dicyanamido ligand features the μ 1,3 bridging mode that led to the formation of two-dimensional structure of complex 1 while complexes 2 and 3 attribute an infinite one-dimensional chain like structure to generate the fascinating molecular assemblies. The {N(CN) 2 } − ligands present in the complexes 2 and 3 are coordin…
Coupled stochastic dynamics of magnetic moment and anisotropy axis of a magnetic nanoparticle
2012
An algorithm is developed for numerical simulation of coupled stochastic dynamics of magnetic moment and magnetic anisotropy axis of a nanoparticle. Time-correlation functions of the magnetic moment and its components longitudinal and transverse to the magnetic anisotropy axis are calculated by averaging along the stochastic trajectory. The longitudinal and transverse relaxation times are found by fitting the time correlation functions. Existing theoretical relations derived by the effective field approach in the limit of small fields are confirmed. The time-correlation functions of magnetic moments of nanoparticles in dependence on their properties are calculated numerically for arbitrary …
The dynamic properties of the M121H azurin metal site as studied by NMR of the paramagnetic Cu(II) and Co(II) metalloderivatives
1998
The M121H azurin mutant in solution presents various species in equilibrium that can be detected and studied by 1H NMR of the Cu(II) and Co(II) paramagnetic metalloderivatives. In both cases up to three species are observed in slow exchange, the proportions of which are different for the two metalloderivatives. Above pH 5 the major species displays a tetrahedral coordination in which the His121 can be observed as a coordinated residue. Its metal site corresponds to a new type of site that is defined as a type 1.5 site. The second and third species resemble the wild type (type 1) azurin and, above pH 4.5, they are present only at a low concentration. At low pH a protonation process increases…
X-Ray Detected Magnetic Resonance: A Unique Probe of the Precession Dynamics of Orbital Magnetization Components
2011
X-ray Detected Magnetic Resonance (XDMR) is a novel spectroscopy in which X-ray Magnetic Circular Dichroism (XMCD) is used to probe the resonant precession of local magnetization components in a strong microwave pump field. We review the conceptual bases of XDMR and recast them in the general framework of the linear and nonlinear theories of ferromagnetic resonance (FMR). Emphasis is laid on the information content of XDMR spectra which offer a unique opportunity to disentangle the precession dynamics of spin and orbital magnetization components at given absorbing sites. For the sake of illustration, we focus on selected examples in which marked differences were found between FMR and XDMR s…
EPR and Magnetic Susceptibility Studies of Cobalt(II)- and Nickel(II)-Substituted Azurins from Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Electronic Structure of the Ac…
1996
The electronic properties of cobalt(II)- and nickel(II)-substituted azurins from Pseudomonas aeruginosa have been investigated. EPR data for the cobalt derivative and paramagnetic susceptibility data for the nickel derivative are reported. The EPR spectrum of Co(II)−azurin shows the typical pattern of a Kramers' doublet (±1/2) associated with an S = 3/2 ground state in a distorted axial symmetry environment. The temperature dependence of the EPR intensities shows that this Kramers' doublet is the excited doublet and, therefore, that the corresponding zero-field splitting parameter D is negative (∼−3.5 cm-1). The mean g value is equal to 2.3. Nickel(II) azurin exhibits an effective magnetic …
