Lightening the load Permanent magnets are generally produced from solid metals or alloys. Less dense compositions involving lighter elements tend to demagnetize well below room temperature under modest applied external fields. Perlepe et al. now report that chemical reduction of a low-density chromium-pyrazine network produces magnet remains stable above 200°C and resists demagnetization with 7500-oersted coercivity at temperature. The straightforward synthetic route material shows promise...
There has been a renaissance in the interdisciplinary field of Molecular Magnetism since ~2000, due to discovery impressive properties and potential applications d- f-metal Single-Molecule Magnets (SMMs) Single-Ion (SIMs) or Monometallic Magnets. One consequences this an explosive growth synthetic molecular inorganic organometallic chemistry. In SMM SIM chemistry, organic ligands play decisive role, sometimes equally important that magnetic metal ion(s). bridging propagate strong...
Electronic synergy between metal ions and organic linkers is a key to engineering molecule-based materials with high electrical conductivity and, ultimately, metallicity. To enhance in metal-organic solids, chemists aim bring the electrochemical potentials of constituent bridging ligands closer quest obtain metal-d ligand-π admixed frontier bands. Herein, we demonstrate critical role ion tuning electronic ground state such materials. While VCl2(pyrazine)2 an insulator, TiCl2(pyrazine)2...
Three structurally and magnetically different tetranuclear Ni(II) complexes have been isolated characterized, emphasizing the effect of reaction solvent organic ligand substitution on chemical identity cluster compounds.
The initial employment of the fluorescent bridging ligand N-naphthalidene-2-amino-5-chlorobenzoic acid (nacbH2) in metal cluster chemistry has led to new Ni12 (1) and Ni5 (2) clusters with wheel-like molecular-chain topologies, respectively. doubly-deprotonated nacb2– ligands were found adopt four different coordination modes within 1 2. nature also allowed unexpected organic transformations occur ferromagnetic emission behaviors emerge. combined work demonstrates ability some...
Abstract Heavy 5d elements, like osmium, feature strong spin‐orbit interactions which are at the origin of exotic physical behaviors. Revealing full potential of, for example, novel osmium oxide materials (“osmates”) is however contingent upon a detailed understanding local single‐ion properties. Herein, two molecular osmate analogues, [OsF 6 ] 2− and − , reported as model systems Os 4+ 5+ centers found in oxides. Using X‐ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) magnetic circular dichroism (XMCD)...
