In contrast to the yellow potassium salt, compound 1 is red and shows an outer-sphere charge-transfer (IPCT) band in the visible range of the electronic spectrum. In addition, due to thermal electron transfer ca. 0.3% of the diamagnetic WIV centres is oxidised to paramagnetic WV, as shown by the EPR spectra. In the yellow compound 2 the extent of the thermal charge separation increases to 16%, which can be rationalised by charge delocalisation through the π–π interactions between bpym and the phenyl rings of the additional PPh4+ cations.

They are built of cyanido-bridged layers of a mixed 4- and 8-metal rings topology and show unique sliding of layers dependent on a 4f metal ion. For light lanthanides, dominant phase A, {[Ln(III)(Box)2(DMF)2][Mo(V)(CN)8]}·1.5MeCN (Ln = Ce, 1; Pr, 2; Nd, 3), consists of ideally aligned, not shifted layers, giving large channels (13.7 × 14.0 Å). Intermediate lanthanides reveal phase B, {[Ln(III)(Box)2(DMF)2] [Mo(V)(CN)8]}·H2O (Ln = Sm, 4; Eu, 5; Gd, 6; Tb, 7; Dy, 8), of smaller pores (8.4 × 10.6 Å) due to layer-H2O hydrogen bonding, which induces sliding of CN(-)-bridged layers. Heavy lanthanides show phase C, {[Ln(III)(Box)(DMF)3][Mo(V)(CN)8]}·MeCN (Ln = Ho, 9; Er, 10; Tm, 11; Yb, 12), with large channels (13.7 × 13.7 Å) of a similar size to light lanthanides....

Here we show that a magnetic response to light can also be enforced in a nonphotomagnetic compound by applying mechanical stress. The nonphotomagnetic cyano-bridged Fe(II)-Nb(IV) coordination polymer {[Fe(II)(pyrazole)4]2[Nb(IV)(CN)8]·4H2O}n (FeNb) has been subjected to high-pressure structural, magnetic and photomagnetic studies at low temperature, which revealed a wide spectrum of pressure-related functionalities including the light-induced magnetization. The multifunctionality of FeNb is compared with a simple structural and magnetic pressure response of its analog {[Mn(II)(pyrazole)4]2[Nb(IV)(CN)8]·4H2O}n (MnNb). The FeNb coordination polymer is the first pressure-induced spin-crossover photomagnet.

The arrangement of {Co3W2} clusters in the crystal lattice is controlled by interactions with crystallization H2O molecules, resulting in two independent hydrogen-bonding systems: the first weaving along open channels in the a direction (weakly bonded H2O) and the second closed in the cages formed by the surrounding [W(CN)8](3-) and mpm fragments (strongly bonded H2O). The strong optical activity of (R)- and (S)-1 together with continuous chirality measure (CCM) analysis confirms the chirality transfer from enantiopure (R)- and (S)-mpm to [Co(mpm)2(μ-NC)2] units, a cyanido-bridged skeleton, and to the whole crystal lattice. Magnetic properties confronted with ab initio calculations prove the ferromagnetic couplings within Co(II)-NC-W(V) linkages inside {Co3W2} molecules, accompanied by weak antiferromagnetic intermolecular interactions. The reversible removal of weakly bonded H2O above 50 °C induces the structural phase transition 1 ⇄ 1deh and strongly affects the magnetic characteristics. The observed changes can be interpreted in terms of the combined effects of the decreasing strength of ferromagnetic Co(II)-W(V) coupling and the increasing role of antiferromagnetic intermolecular correlation, both connected with dehydration-induced structural modifications in the clusters' core and supramolecular network of 1.

This is a three dimensional molecular magnet with well localized magnetic moments, which make it a suitable candidate for testing magnetic models. In order to characterize the magnetic properties of the above compound we performed the AC/DC magnetometry in the range 0-5 T. The special attention was paid to the phase transition at 7.9 K. The study in magnetic field supports magnetic ordering below 7.9 K.

The dehydrated compound is a three-dimensional ferrimagnet with an ordering temperature of Tc = 62 K, the highest ever known for octacyanometalate-based compounds.

ABSTRACT AC susceptibility, χAC, for ferromagnetic CuII[WV(CN)8]- and CuII[MoV(CN)8]-based molecu... more ABSTRACT AC susceptibility, χAC, for ferromagnetic CuII[WV(CN)8]- and CuII[MoV(CN)8]-based molecular magnets with TC≈30 K of the unique bilayered structure is investigated. χAC(T) is measured with different frequency and amplitude of the oscillating field for various magnitudes of static applied field. CuII[WV(CN)8]-based compounds show a sharp anomaly at the transition and extremely low effect below TC; second harmonic of χAC and DC magnetization curves suggest some weak antiferromagnetic interactions while critical behaviour points to the Ising anisotropy in these samples. Susceptibility of these compounds is strongly enhanced by applying DC field of about 50 Oe. For the CuII[MoV(CN)8]-based compounds χAC is more typical and the critical exponent γ is close to that of 3D Heisenberg magnets. It is suggested that the different behaviour of these isostructural and isospin compounds is related to the more diffuse 5d shell of tungsten centres that may enhance the possible antiferromagnetic exchange through the CN-bridges. At HDC=0 there is almost no frequency dependence of χAC. Weak glass-like character of tungstate compounds which appears in the applied field is probably due to random weak interactions through the hydrogen bonds disordered in the space between the bilayers and random anisotropy coming from the countercations.

The complexes have been characterized in aqueous solution and in the solid state as localized-to-delocalized mixed-valence species with weak-to-moderate coupling between Pt and Mo centers. The remote Mo centers in electrochemically generated [(CN) 7 Mo V -CN-Pt IV (L) 4 -NC-Mo IV (CN) 7 ] 3 − are strongly coupled through trans-CN-Pt(L) 4 -NC-linkage. The ground state delocalization Mo(IV) l Pt(IV) in the solid state results in valence-trapped Mo(IV)/Mo(V) sites on the IR and ESR timescale. The structure of Cs 2 [Pt(en) 2 Cl 2 ][(CN) 7 Mo-CN-Pt(en) 2 -NC-Mo(CN) 7 ]·10H 2 O is characterized by significant bending of CN-bridges in the Pt(1) -N-C array. The network exhibits the large Cs + cations trapped within the 'cage' formed by Cl, N and O atoms of [Pt(en) 2 Cl 2 ] 2 + , terminal CN ligands and water molecules, indicating a crucial role of Cs + in stabilization of the structure.

It was found that the three-dimensional (3D) magnetic ordering at Tc≈33 K gives rise to antiferromagnetic structure which under relatively small magnetic field changes to ferromagnetic. There is strong easy-plane anisotropy confining the magnetic moments to the ac crystallographic plane. Detailed analysis of the scaling behavior of the dc susceptibility above Tc is performed. For the direction of the external magnetic field parallel to the ac crystallographic plane the ordering process involves one stage only, whereas for the direction parallel to the b crystallographic axis a two-stage process is revealed. The corresponding crossover at about 39 K is from the 2D short-range order state to the 3D long-range one. The well-established short-range order above the transition is consistent with the low value of the entropy amounting to only 15% of the maximal expected value. The scaling behavior of the Berezinski-Kosterlitz-Thouless type has been checked for the temperature dependence of magnetization in the ac plane yielding the value of ν=0.56. The spin-flip field is explained by assuming that below the transition temperature there is a domain structure coupled through the dipole-dipole interactions. The ratio of the interbilayer to the intrabilayer exchange interaction was estimated to amount to 1×10−4.

Mg, 75.50.Xx, 75.60.Ej Two quasi-one-dimensional compounds [Ln III (terpy)(DMF)4][W V (CN)8] · 6H2O, where Ln stands for Gd or Sm, were synthesized and the measurements of their magnetic features were carried out. Magnetization was measured at 2 K in the field range 0-5 T. To extract physical information from the experimental data a generalization of the theoretical approach given by Verdaguer et al. (Phys. Rev. B 29, 5144 (1984)) [1] is put forward. That theoretical model is found to fit the data well. It allows for the determination not only of the coupling constant but also of the zero-field splitting parameter.

In the magnetically ordered state a spontaneous precession signal was found to contain two main components and the temperature dependence of the characteristic internal fields was followed up to the critical temperature. The critical exponent obtained for the magnetic order parameter β = 0.237(12) points to the two-dimensional character of the transition and reflects its underlying Berezinski-Kosterlitz-Thouless nature. Experiments performed in the longitudinal magnetic field demonstrate clearly a spin-flip phenomenon associated with the weak inter-bilayer coupling, that takes place in the magnetic field region below 100 G. The muon precession signals measured in the vicinity of this transition provide detailed local information about the corresponding rearrangements of the spin structure.

Molecular magnets predominantly belong to the class of compounds involving well localized magnetic moments. This feature together with the fact that the nature and symmetry of magnetic interactions is encrypted in the critical behaviour makes them a perfect testing ground of the existing theoretical spin models. It is demonstrated that the experimental technique of the µSR spectroscopy is perfectly suited to study magnetic fluctuations and spin dynamics in the neighbourhood of a phase transition. This unique method can even dispense with the complementary measurements of the AC susceptibility or heat capacity to supply a complete set of the static and dynamic critical exponents. It can thus be used to pinpoint the universality class of the material of interest.

Isostructural series of chemical formula {[MII(pirazol)4]2[NbIV(CN)8]· 4H2O}n (MII = Mn (1), Fe (... more Isostructural series of chemical formula {[MII(pirazol)4]2[NbIV(CN)8]· 4H2O}n (MII = Mn (1), Fe (2), Co (3), Ni (4)) has been obtained by the self-assembly technique. Its unique crystallographic structure consists in the formation of a 3D extended network of magnetic centers braced by geometrically identical cyanido bridges. Magnetic measurements reveal the transitions to the 3D order at temperatures 23.7, 8.3, 5.9, 13.4 K for 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively. The character of order is demonstrated to be ferrimagnetic for 1 and 2 and ferromagnetic for 3 and 4. The mean-field approach is used to determine the corresponding exchange coupling constants. The observed interactions are discussed within the magnetic orbital model.

In addition, due to thermal electron transfer ca. 0.3% of the diamagnetic WIV centres is oxidised to paramagnetic WV, as shown by the EPR spectra. In the yellow compound 2 the extent of the thermal charge separation increases to 16%, which can be rationalised by charge delocalisation through the π–π interactions between bpym and the phenyl rings of the additional PPh4+ cations.

The arrangement of {Co3W2} clusters in the crystal lattice is controlled by interactions with crystallization H2O molecules, resulting in two independent hydrogen-bonding systems: the first weaving along open channels in the a direction (weakly bonded H2O) and the second closed in the cages formed by the surrounding [W(CN)8](3-) and mpm fragments (strongly bonded H2O). The strong optical activity of (R)- and (S)-1 together with continuous chirality measure (CCM) analysis confirms the chirality transfer from enantiopure (R)- and (S)-mpm to [Co(mpm)2(μ-NC)2] units, a cyanido-bridged skeleton, and to the whole crystal lattice. Magnetic properties confronted with ab initio calculations prove the ferromagnetic couplings within Co(II)-NC-W(V) linkages inside {Co3W2} molecules, accompanied by weak antiferromagnetic intermolecular interactions. The reversible removal of weakly bonded H2O above 50 °C induces the structural phase transition 1 ⇄ 1deh and strongly affects the magnetic characteristics. The observed changes can be interpreted in terms of the combined effects of the decreasing strength of ferromagnetic Co(II)-W(V) coupling and the increasing role of antiferromagnetic intermolecular correlation, both connected with dehydration-induced structural modifications in the clusters' core and supramolecular network of 1.

CuII[WV(CN)8]-based compounds show a sharp anomaly at the transition and extremely low effect below TC; second harmonic of χAC and DC magnetization curves suggest some weak antiferromagnetic interactions while critical behaviour points to the Ising anisotropy in these samples. Susceptibility of these compounds is strongly enhanced by applying DC field of about 50 Oe. For the CuII[MoV(CN)8]-based compounds χAC is more typical and the critical exponent γ is close to that of 3D Heisenberg magnets. It is suggested that the different behaviour of these isostructural and isospin compounds is related to the more diffuse 5d shell of tungsten centres that may enhance the possible antiferromagnetic exchange through the CN-bridges. At HDC=0 there is almost no frequency dependence of χAC. Weak glass-like character of tungstate compounds which appears in the applied field is probably due to random weak interactions through the hydrogen bonds disordered in the space between the bilayers and random anisotropy coming from the countercations.

The complexes have been characterized in aqueous solution and in the solid state as localized-to-delocalized mixed-valence species with weak-to-moderate coupling between Pt and Mo centers. The remote Mo centers in electrochemically generated [(CN) 7 Mo V -CN-Pt IV (L) 4 -NC-Mo IV (CN) 7 ] 3 − are strongly coupled through trans-CN-Pt(L) 4 -NC-linkage.

It was found that the three-dimensional (3D) magnetic ordering at Tc≈33 K gives rise to antiferromagnetic structure which under relatively small magnetic field changes to ferromagnetic. There is strong easy-plane anisotropy confining the magnetic moments to the ac crystallographic plane. Detailed analysis of the scaling behavior of the dc susceptibility above Tc is performed. For the direction of the external magnetic field parallel to the ac crystallographic plane the ordering process involves one stage only, whereas for the direction parallel to the b crystallographic axis a two-stage process is revealed. The corresponding crossover at about 39 K is from the 2D short-range order state to the 3D long-range one. The well-established short-range order above the transition is consistent with the low value of the entropy amounting to only 15% of the maximal expected value. The scaling behavior of the Berezinski-Kosterlitz-Thouless type has been checked for the temperature dependence of magnetization in the ac plane yielding the value of ν=0.56. The spin-flip field is explained by assuming that below the transition temperature there is a domain structure coupled through the dipole-dipole interactions. The ratio of the interbilayer to the intrabilayer exchange interaction was estimated to amount to 1×10−4.

Mg, 75.50.Xx, 75.60.Ej Two quasi-one-dimensional compounds [Ln III (terpy)(DMF)4][W V (CN)8] · 6H2O, where Ln stands for Gd or Sm, were synthesized and the measurements of their magnetic features were carried out. Magnetization was measured at 2 K in the field range 0-5 T. To extract physical information from the experimental data a generalization of the theoretical approach given by Verdaguer et al. (Phys. Rev. B 29, 5144 (1984)) [1] is put forward. That theoretical model is found to fit the data well. It allows for the determination not only of the coupling constant but also of the zero-field splitting parameter.

In the magnetically ordered state a spontaneous precession signal was found to contain two main components and the temperature dependence of the characteristic internal fields was followed up to the critical temperature. The critical exponent obtained for the magnetic order parameter β = 0.237(12) points to the two-dimensional character of the transition and reflects its underlying Berezinski-Kosterlitz-Thouless nature. Experiments performed in the longitudinal magnetic field demonstrate clearly a spin-flip phenomenon associated with the weak inter-bilayer coupling, that takes place in the magnetic field region below 100 G. The muon precession signals measured in the vicinity of this transition provide detailed local information about the corresponding rearrangements of the spin structure.

Molecular magnets predominantly belong to the class of compounds involving well localized magnetic moments. This feature together with the fact that the nature and symmetry of magnetic interactions is encrypted in the critical behaviour makes them a perfect testing ground of the existing theoretical spin models. It is demonstrated that the experimental technique of the µSR spectroscopy is perfectly suited to study magnetic fluctuations and spin dynamics in the neighbourhood of a phase transition. This unique method can even dispense with the complementary measurements of the AC susceptibility or heat capacity to supply a complete set of the static and dynamic critical exponents. It can thus be used to pinpoint the universality class of the material of interest.

Isostructural series of chemical formula {[MII(pirazol)4]2[NbIV(CN)8]· 4H2O}n (MII = Mn (1), Fe (... more Isostructural series of chemical formula {[MII(pirazol)4]2[NbIV(CN)8]· 4H2O}n (MII = Mn (1), Fe (2), Co (3), Ni (4)) has been obtained by the self-assembly technique. Its unique crystallographic structure consists in the formation of a 3D extended network of magnetic centers braced by geometrically identical cyanido bridges. Magnetic measurements reveal the transitions to the 3D order at temperatures 23.7, 8.3, 5.9, 13.4 K for 1, 2, 3, and 4, respectively. The character of order is demonstrated to be ferrimagnetic for 1 and 2 and ferromagnetic for 3 and 4. The mean-field approach is used to determine the corresponding exchange coupling constants. The observed interactions are discussed within the magnetic orbital model.
