Modular Metal Chalcogenide Chemistry: Secondary Building Blocks as a Basis of the Silicate-Type Framework Structure of CsLiU(PS4)2
2011
The novel uranium thiophosphate CsLiU(PS4)2 has been synthesized by reacting uranium metal, Cs2S, Li2S, S, and P2S5 at 700 °C in an evacuated silica tube. The crystal structure was determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction techniques. CsLiU(PS4)2 crystallizes in the rhombohedral space group Rc (a = 15.2797(7) A; c = 28.778(2) A, V = 5818.7(5) A3, Z = 18). The structure ofCsLiU(PS4)2 is a unique three-dimensional U(PS4)22– framework with large tunnels with an approximate diameter of 6.6 A running parallel to the crystallographic c axis. The tunnels are filled with Cs+ cations. The smaller Li+ cations are located at tetrahedral sites at the periphery of the channels. In the structure of …
Tuning size and thermal hysteresis in bistable spin crossover nanoparticles.
2010
Nanoparticles of iron(II) triazole salts have been prepared from water-organic microemulsions. The mean size of the nanoparticles can be tuned down to 6 nm in diameter, with a narrow size distribution. A sharp spin transition from the low spin (LS) to the high spin (HS) state is observed above room temperature, with a 30-40-K-wide thermal hysteresis. The same preparation can yield second generation nanoparticles containing molecular alloys by mixing triazole with triazole derivatives, or from metallic mixtures of iron(II) and zinc(II). In these nanoparticles of 10-15 nm, the spin transition "moves" towards lower temperatures, reaching a 316 K limit for the cooling down transition and mainta…
Single ion magnet behaviour in a two-dimensional network of dicyanamide-bridged cobalt(II) ions
2015
A novel two-dimensional coordination polymer of the formula [Co(dca)2(atz)2]n (1) resulted from assembling trans-bis(2-amino-1,3,5-triazine)cobalt(II) motifs by dicyanamide spacers. Variable-temperature dc and ac magnetic susceptibility measurements of 1 show that the high-spin cobalt(II) ions act as single ion magnets (SIMs).
The magnesium global network (MaGNet) to promote research on magnesium in diseases focusing on covid-19
2021
When the current SARS-CoV-2 pandemic began in early 2020, the global magnesium researcher community came together and noted the striking similarities between COVID-19 risk factors and conditions associated with magnesium deficit state in humans, reasoning that magnesium deficiency could worsen the course of COVID-19 [1-4]. This prompted establishment of a worldwide collaborative network with regular virtual meetings to brainstorm the associations between magnesium and COVID-19. We hypothesize that magnesium deficiency, a common but mostly unrecognized state in modern global societies, could be an important component of the susceptibility to SARS-CoV-2 infection. Consequently, restoring the …
Magnetic susceptibility of multiferroics and chemical ordering
2017
Magnetic susceptibility of two types of perovskite compounds A(Fe0.5M0.5)O3 A=Ba,Sr with M=Nb and Sb differing in the degree of chemical ordering was studied between 2 and 380 K. In the low temperature region, these compounds exhibit antiferromagnetic and spin-glass transition at T = 16−30 K. For the ordered compounds (M = Sb) the inverse susceptibility depends on T linearly up to the highest temperatures used. This enables the determination of the Weiss temperature θ and effective moment of the Fe3+ ion expressed by a number of Bohr magnetons, peff. In contrast to it, the compounds with M = Nb are characterized by a higher degree of the glassines and by a concave character of the inverse s…
Effect of structural and compositional inhomogeneities on spin-glass transition in Hg1−x−yCrxMnySe crystals
2004
Abstract We report experimental results on the growth of Hg 1 −x−y Cr x Mn y Se crystals and their magnetic susceptibility χ ( T ) in dependence on the crystal structure and composition. It was found that the crystals with the Mn composition y =0.01–0.08 exhibit the spin-glass transition temperature T g =100–110 K. An increase of y value leads to the saturation of the χ max and T g characteristics in the composition ranges of y >0.06 and y >0.02, respectively. This phenomenon is explained as a result of phase-separated magnetic behavior caused by the formation of HgCr 2 Se 4 inclusions and textures.
Self-assembly, metal binding ability, and magnetic properties of dinickel(II) and dicobalt(II) triple mesocates
2012
Two metallacyclic complexes of general formula Na-8[(M2L3)-L-II]center dot xH(2)O [M = Ni (4) and Co (5) with x = 15 (4) and 17 (5)] have been self-assembled in aqueous solution from N,N'-1,3-phenylenebis(oxamic acid) (H4L) and M2+ ions in a ligand/metal molar ratio of 3 : 2 in the presence of NaOH acting as base. X-Ray structural analyses of 4 and 5 show triple-stranded, dinuclear anions of the meso-helicate-type (so-called mesocates) with C-3h molecular symmetry. The two octahedral metal-tris(oxamate) moieties of opposite chiralities (Delta, Lambda form) are connected by three m-phenylene spacers at intermetallic distances of 6.822(2) (4) and 6.868(2) angstrom (5) to give a metallacryptan…
Very Long-Distance Magnetic Coupling in a Dicopper(II) Metallacyclophane with Extended π-Conjugated Diphenylethyne Bridges
2011
Self-assembly of the rigid rodlike ligand N,N'-4,4'-diphenylethynebis(oxamate) (dpeba) and Cu(2+) ions affords a novel dinuclear copper(II) metallacyclophane (nBu(4)N)(4)[Cu(2)(dpeba)(2)]·4MeOH·2Et(2)O (1) featuring a very long intermetallic distance (r = 15.0 Å). Magnetic susceptibility measurements for 1 reveal a moderately weak but nonnegligible intramolecular antiferromagnetic coupling between the two metal centers across the double para-substituted diphenylethynediamidate bridge (J = -3.9 cm(-1); H = -JS(1)S(2), where S(1) = S(2) = S(Cu) = (1)/(2)). Density functional electronic structure calculations on 1 support the occurrence of a spin polarization mechanism.
Muon spin relaxation studies of iron(II) spin crossover complexes
2008
A series of model iron(II) spin crossover complexes have been investigated by temperature dependent muon spin relaxation (mu SR) techniques at ISIS, UK. The thermally induced spin crossover in these materials could be monitored by following the initial asymmetry parameter, a(0), in zero-field. We established that the behavior of a(0) correlates well with the shape of the spin crossover curve derived from magnetic susceptibility measurements, whether hysteretic, smooth, or abrupt. In addition, the longitudinal field dependence of a(0) not only provides information on the nature of the muonic species but also on their interactions and respective localization in the crystal lattice. Useful ins…
Single-Molecule-Magnet Fe Fe and Antiferromagnetic Fe Coordination Clusters
2019
Supported by endogenous (part of the ligand, in-built) phenoxo bridges provided by the ligand 2,6-bis[{{(5-bromo-2-hydroxybenzyl)}{(2-(pyridylethyl)}amino}methyl]-4-methylphenol) (H3L), in its deprotonated form, exogenous (not part of the ligand, externally added or generated) oxo-/hydroxo- and acetato-bridged [FeII4FeIII2(O)2(O2CMe)4(L)2]·4Et2O (1) and [FeIII4(OH)2(O2CMe)3(L)2](ClO4)·3MeCN·2H2O (2) coordination clusters have been synthesized and structurally characterized. Complexes 1 and 2 have μ4-O and μ3-OH bridges, respectively. Magnetic studies on 1 reveal slow magnetic relaxation below 2 K. Both in-phase ( χ'M) and out-of-phase (χ″M) magnetic susceptibility were found to be frequency…
