Design of molecular materials combining magnetic, electrical and optical properties †
2000
The possibilities offered by hybrid functional materials formed by two molecular networks in the context of crystal engineering are illustrated with two different examples: (i) hybrid magnets constructed from combination of an extended ferromagnetic or ferrimagnetic inorganic network, with a molecular paramagnetic metal complex acting as template. (ii) Hybrid organic–inorganic compounds combining an organic π-electron donor network that furnishes the pathway for electronic conductivity, with inorganic metal complexes that act as structural and/or magnetic components. These examples illustrate how this hybrid approach allows the design of molecular materials combining non-conventional magnet…
Theoretical investigation of paramagnetic group 13 diazabutadiene radicals: insights into the prediction and interpretation of EPR spectroscopy param…
2006
The electronic structures and the spin density distributions of the group 13 1,4-diaza(1,3)butadiene (DAB) radicals [(R-DAB)2M]˙, [(R-DAB)MX2]˙ and {[(R-DAB)MX]2}˙˙ (M = Al, Ga, In; X = F, Cl, Br, I; R = H, Me, tBu, Ph) are studied using density functional theory at both non-relativistic and relativistic levels of theory. The calculations demonstrate that all systems share a qualitatively similar electronic structure and are primarily ligand centred π-radicals. The calculated metal, nitrogen and hydrogen hyperfine couplings are found to be independent of the identity of the R-group and the halogen atom. They are, however, dependent on the geometry and oxidation state of the metal centre. Bo…
A Diferrous Single‐Molecule Magnet
2007
The diferrous complex [Fe2(acpypentO)(NCO)3] (1),(acpypentO– = the anion of 1,5-bis[2-pyridyl(1-ethylimino)]pentane-3-ol) was studied by spectroscopic (dual-mode X-band EPR and 57Fe-Mossbauer) and magnetic (AC magnetic susceptibility) techniques. Complex 1 (A. K. Boudalis et al., Inorg. Chem.2004, 43, 1574) was previously shown to exhibit an intramolecular ferromagnetic coupling with important single-ion anisotropies with marked differences in the single-ion electronic parameters of the two iron sites. In this contribution, additional studies are carried out to probe its dynamic magnetic properties. Mossbauer spectra recorded at liquid helium temperatures indicate slow paramagnetic relaxati…
Fully interlocked three-dimensional molecular scaffolding: Synthesis, X-ray structure, magnetic and nitrogen sorption study
2012
Abstract The reaction of M(NO3)2·6H2O (M = Co or Ni), N,N-diethyl-ethylenediamine (deen) and sodium dicyanamide (dca) afforded the complex {[M(deen)(μ1,5-dca)2]}n (where for 1, M = Co and for 2, M = Ni). The complexes have been characterized structurally and magnetically. X-ray analysis reveals that the isomorphous complexes 1 and 2 feature similar infinite three-dimensional scaffolding-like structure to generate the fascinating molecular assembly. All the {N(CN)2}− ligands present in the complexes are connected to the symmetry related metal centers in an end-to-end fashion through bent {N(CN)2}− ligands. The zigzag linkage propagates parallel to three crystallographic axes to form a fully …
Metamagnetic behaviour in a new Cu(ii)Re(iv) chain based on the hexachlororhenate(iv) anion
2014
A new chloro-bridged heterobimetallic Cu(ii)Re(iv) chain of formula {Cu(pyim)(Him)2ReCl6}n·MeCN (·MeCN) has been prepared and magnetostructurally characterised. Compound is the first example of the [Re(IV)Cl6](2-) anion acting as a metalloligand towards a paramagnetic metal ion.
Towards multifunctional magnetic systems through molecular-programmed self assembly of Re(IV) metalloligands
2015
Abstract The molecular-programmed approach based on the use as ligands of tailor-made metalloligands containing stable six-coordinate rhenium(IV) as paramagnetic centres is presented in this review article. A relatively large amount of spin density is covalent-delocalized away from the rhenium to the peripheral atoms of the ligands in the case of the Re(IV) metalloligands, as shown by polarized neutron diffraction experiments and density functional theory calculations. This feature accounts for the significant through space-magnetic interactions that occur in most of its mononuclear species and more interestingly it also explains the strengthening of the magnetic interactions in the heterom…
Superparamagnetic iron oxide/oleic acid nanoparticles with immobilized organosilicon derivatives ofN-(2-hydroxyethyl)tetrahydroisoquinoline: synthesi…
2013
Superparamagnetic iron oxide/oleic acid nanoparticles bearing lipid-like organosilicon N-(2-hydroxyethyl)-1,2,3,4-tetrahydroisoquinoline derivatives have been synthesized with the aim of their potential biomedical application. X-ray diffraction analysis, Dynamic light-scattering measurements, method of magnetogranulometry and some others have been employed to investigate the morphology and properties of the nanoparticles synthesized. The magnetic core diameter of mixed covered nanoparticles ranged between 4.8 and 9.6 nm. The magnetization analyses showed that the particles are superparamagnetic at room temperature. In vitro cell cytotoxicity and intracellular NO generation caused by the wat…
Design of chiral magnets: Cyanide-bridged bimetallic assemblies based on cyclohexane-1,2-diamine
2003
Abstract Four magnetic compounds based on chiral ligands trans-(1S,2S)-chxn and trans-(1R,2R)-chxn (chxn: cyclohexane-1,2-diamine), [Ni(trans-(1S,2S)-chxn)2]3[Fe(CN)6]2·2H2O (1), [Ni(trans-(1R,2R)-chxn)2]3[Fe(CN)6]2·2H2O (2), [Cu(trans-(1S,2S)-chxn)2]3[Fe(CN)6]2·4.5H2O (3) and [Cu(trans-(1R,2R)-chxn)2]3[Fe(CN)6]2·4.5H2O (4), are reported. The four compounds are chiral, as confirmed by X-ray analyses and circular dichroism measurements. From the magnetic point of view, 1 and 2 behave as ferromagnets, whereas 3 and 4 show a paramagnetic behavior.
Dichroism in angular resolved VUV-photoemission from the (0001) surfaces of thin Gd and Nd films epitaxially grown on W(110)
1999
We present investigations of the electronic and magnetic structure of the Rare Earth valence states. In particular, we have examined ultra thin films (≤ 10 ML) of the rare earth metals gadolinium and neodymium epitaxially grown on tungsten (110). Various experiments on dichroism in angular resolved photoemission have been performed using circularly as well as linearly polarised light in the VUV-range with photon energies below 40 eV. A special emphasis was placed on the investigation of the surface state, which was observed for both Gd and Nd. A very small magnetic splitting of about 25 meV was observed for the surface state of ferromagnetic Gd. A magnetic ordering of a Nd-monolayer on a re…
Stability of E' centers induced by 4.7eV laser radiation in SiO2
2007
The kinetics of E' centers (silicon dangling bonds) induced by 4.7eV pulsed laser irradiation in dry fused silica was investigated by in situ optical absorption spectroscopy. The stability of the defects, conditioned by reaction with mobile hydrogen of radiolytic origin, is discussed and compared to results of similar experiments performed on wet fused silica. A portion of E' and hydrogen are most likely generated by laser-induced breaking of Si-H precursors, while an additional fraction of the paramagnetic centers arise from another formation mechanism. Both typologies of E' participate to the reaction with H_2 leading to the post-irradiation decay of the defects. This annealing process is…
