Nous présentons la synthèse et les propriétés structurales et magnétiques de trois nouveaux composés tridimensionnels isostructuraux, synthétisés à partir des précurseurs octacyanométallates [MIV (CN)8]−4: [MIV{(μ-CN) 4MnII (H2O)2}2•4H2O]n [MIV = NbIV (1), MoIV (2), WIV (3)]. Pour le composé 1, les propriétés magnétiques montrent l'existence d'une phase ferrimagnétique en dessous de 50 K. Par contre, les propriétés magnétiques de 2 et 3 correspondent à celles de deux ions MnII magnétiquement isolés. La seule différence électronique dans les deux types des composés est la présence de deux électrons appariés dans les ions MoIV (2) et WIV (3) (configuration électronique d2, S = 0) ce qui rend impossible une interaction d'échange avec le spin des ions MnII voisins (configuration électronique d5, S = 5/2) et d'un électron célibataire dans l'ion NbIV (1) (d1, S = 1/2) qui donne naissance à des interactions d'échange antiferromagnétiques NbIV–MnII et à l'apparition d'un ordre magnétique tridimensionnel sous la température de Curie. Ces trois composés montrent comment un électron célibataire, stratégiquement situé, peut changer de façon dramatique les propriétés magnétiques des composés par ailleurs isostructuraux., We report the synthesis, the single-crystal X-ray crystallographic structures and the magnetic properties of three new isostructural cyanido-bridged networks: [MIV{(μ-CN) 4MnII (H2O)2}2•4H2O]n [MIV = NbIV (1), MoIV (2), WIV (3)]. For compound 1, the magnetic properties reveal a ferrimagnetic phase below 50 K. In contrast, compounds 2 and 3 show a paramagnetic behaviour with no magnetic ordering down to 2 K. The only electronic difference between the two kinds of compounds is the presence of two paired electrons on MoIV (2) and WIV (3) (d2 electronic configuration, S = 0) with no possible exchange interactions with MnII ions (d5 electronic configuration, S = 5/2) and one unpaired electron on NbIV (1) (d1, S = 1/2) which allows NbIV–MnII antiferromagnetic exchange interactions and the onset of a three-dimensional magnetic ordering under Curie temperature. These three compounds demonstrate how one unpaired electron, well located, can dramatically change the magnetic behaviour of isostructural octacyanido-based three-dimensional networks.
Ni(II) coordination compounds based on mixed phthalate and aromatic amine ligands: synthesis, crystal structures and magnetic properties
2005, Baca, Svetlana G., Filippova, Irina G., Franz, Patrick, Ambrus, Christina, Gdaniec, Maria, Stoeckli-Evans, Helen, Simonov, Yurii A., Gherco, Olesea A., Bejan, Tanea, Gerbeleu, Nicolae, Decurtins, Silvio
Three new coordination compounds, [Ni(Pht)(Py)2 (H2O)3] (1), [Ni(Pht)(β- Pic)2(H2O)3] • H2O (2) and [Ni(Pht)(1-MeIm)2 (H2O)3] (3) (where Pht2− = dianion of o-phthalic acid; Py = pyridine, β-Pic = 3-methylpyridine, 1-MeIm = 1-methylimidazole), have been synthesized and characterized by IR spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis. Crystallographic studies 1–3 reveal that each Ni(II) center has a distorted octahedral geometry being coordinated by two nitrogen atoms of aromatic amines, one oxygen atom from a carboxylate group of a phthalate ligand and three water molecules. Pht2− anions act as monodentate ligands, while the remaining uncoordinated carboxylate oxygen atoms participate in the formation of hydrogen bonding. The uncoordinated oxygen atoms form hydrogen bonds with the coordinated water molecules from adjacent complexes creating a centrosymmetric dimer unit. Further, these dimer units are connected by O–HO hydrogen bonds in double-chains. Depending on the nature of aromatic amines, the arrangement of these double-chains differs. The double-chains are held together only by van der Waals interactions in 1. In contrast, in 2 these chains form layers by π–π interactions between antiparallel molecules of β-Pic as well as by π–π interactions between β-Pic and Pht aromatic rings. In complex 3, the double-chains are knitted together via C–HO hydrogen bonds between the methyl group of 1-MeIm and the coordinated carboxylate oxygen atom of Pht, as well as π–π contacts involving antiparallel 1-MeIm cycles. The thermal dependence of the magnetic susceptibilities for compounds 1 and 2 shows a weak antiferromagnetic interaction between the two Ni2+ ions of the hydrogen bonded dimers. For compound 3, a ferromagnetic interaction could be observed. Modeling the experimental data with MAGPACK resulted in: g = 2.22,
Synthesis, structure and magnetic properties of cobalt(II) and copper(II) coordination polymers assembled by phthalate and 4-methylimidazole

New coordination polymers [M (Pht)(4-MeIm)2 (H2O)]n (M=Co (1), Cu (2); Pht2−=dianion of o-phthalic acid; 4-MeIm=4-methylimidazole) have been synthesized and characterized by IR spectroscopy, X-ray crystallography, thermogravimetric analysis and magnetic measurements. The crystal structures of 1 and 2 are isostructural and consist of [M (4-MeIm)2(H2O)] building units linked in infinite 1D helical chains by 1,6-bridging phthalate ions which also act as chelating ligands through two O atoms from one carboxylate group in the case of 1. In complex 1, each Co(II) atom adopts a distorted octahedral N2O4 geometry being coordinated by two N atoms from two 4-MeIm, three O atoms of two phthalate residues and one O atom of a water molecule, whereas the square-pyramidal N2O3 coordination of the Cu(II) atom in 2 includes two N atoms of N-containing ligands, two O atoms of two carboxylate groups from different Pht, and a water molecule. An additional strong O–HO hydrogen bond between a carboxylate group of the phthalate ligand and a coordinated water molecule join the 1D helical chains to form a 2D network in both compounds. The thermal dependences of the magnetic susceptibilities of the polymeric helical Co(II) chain compound 1 were simulated within the temperature range 20–300 K as a single ion case, whereas for the Cu(II) compound 2, the simulations between 25 and 300 K, were made for a linear chain using the Bonner–Fisher approximation. Modelling the experimental data of compound 1 with MAGPACK resulted in: g=2.6,
