利用三氰基铁酸盐(Bu₄N)[Fe^Ⅲ(Tp)(CN)₃](Tp=氢化三(1-吡唑基)硼酸)与配体2,9-二吡唑基-1,10-菲咯啉(dpzpen)以及高氯酸镍反应合成了一例氰根桥联的Fe^Ⅲ₄Ni^Ⅱ₂六核配合物[Fe₄Ni₂(Tp)₄(CN)₁₂(dpzpen)₂]·12H₂O·3CH₃OH(1)。结构研究表明配合物1具有近似菱形的Fe^Ⅲ₂Ni^Ⅱ₂骨架结构,另外2个Fe(Ⅲ)则通过氰根延伸在菱形的外侧。磁性研究表明在配合物1中氰根桥联的Fe(Ⅲ)和Ni(Ⅱ)表现出铁磁相互作用。更为重要的是,基于配合物1的结构模型,对它的变温磁化率数据进行拟合得到了不同Fe(Ⅲ)-Ni(Ⅱ)之间的磁耦合常数,得到的最佳磁耦合常数J_3d (15.73 cm^-1)>J_2d (3.53 cm^-1)≈J_1d (3.50 cm^-1)与Ni—N键的键长以及Ni—N≡C键角的变化趋势有关(J_3d： 0.206 5 nm,169.8°; J_2d： 0.206 2 nm,163.1°; J_1d： 0.198 7 nm,161.6°)。以上结果表明Ni—N键长越短,Ni—N≡C键角越大,Fe(Ⅲ)与Ni(Ⅱ)之间的铁磁耦合越强。

MnIII2 (5-Rsaltmen)2NiII(pao)2(L)]2+: an S(T)=3 building block for a single-chain magnet that behaves as a single-molecule magnet

Mn(III)-Ni(II)-Mn(III) linear-type trinuclear complexes bridged by oximate groups were selectively synthesized by the assembly reaction of [Mn2(5-Rsaltmen)2(H2O)2](ClO4)2 (5-Rsaltmen2-=N,N'-(1,1,2,2-tetramethylethylene) bis(5-R-salicylideneiminate); R=Cl, Br) with [Ni(pao)2(phen)] (pao-=pyridine-2-aldoximate; phen=1,10-phenanthroline) in methanol/water: [Mn2(5-Rsaltmen)2Ni(pao)2(phen)](ClO4)2 (R=Cl, 1; R=Br, 2). Structural analysis revealed that the [Mn(III)-ON-Ni(II)-NO-Mn(III)] skeleton of these trimers is in every respect similar to the repeating unit found in the previously reported series of 1D materials [Mn2(saltmen)2Ni(pao)2(L1)2](A)(2) (L(1)=pyridine, 4-picoline, 4-tert-butylpyridine, N-methylimidazole; A=ClO4-, BF4-, PF6-, ReO4-). Recently, these 1D compounds have attracted a great deal of attention for their magnetic properties, since they exhibit slow relaxation of the magnetization (also called single-chain magnet (SCM) behavior). This unique magnetic behavior was explained in the framework of Glauber's theory, generalized for chains of ferromagnetically coupled anisotropic spins. Thus, in these 1D compounds, the [Mn(III)-ON-Ni(II)-NO-Mn(III)] unit was considered as an S(T)=3 anisotropic spin. Direct-current magnetic measurements on 1 and 2 confirm their S(T)=3 ground state and strong uniaxial anisotropy (D/k(B) approximately -2.4 K), in excellent agreement with the magnetic characteristic deduced in the study on the SCM series. The ac magnetic susceptibility of these trimers is strongly frequency-dependent and characteristic of single-molecule magnet (SMM) behavior. The relaxation time tau shows a thermally activated (Arrhenius) behavior with tau0 approximately 1x10(-7) s and Delta(eff)/k(B) approximately 18 K. The effective energy barrier for reversal of the magnetization Delta(eff) is consistent with the theoretical value (21 K) estimated from |D| S2T. The present results reinforce consistently the interpretation of the SCM behavior observed in the [Mn2(saltmen)2Ni(pao)2(L1)2](A)2 series and opens new perspectives to design single-chain magnets.     

Spectroscopic and magnetic investigations of actinide‐based nanomagnets

Magnetic exchange is an essential feature of transition‐metal nanomagnets because it combines the relatively low spin‐only moments of several ions into a “giant spin” ground state, which can make slow magnetic relaxation very favorable in an axially anisotropic environment. In contrast, most of the early research on lanthanide‐based complexes focused on single‐ion magnets, where the required large moment is generated by the unquenched orbital contribution (which is parallel to the spin in heavy rare earths). With their unfilled 5f electronic shell being on the verge between localization and itinerancy, actinides are expected to combine the best of both 3d and 4f metals in terms of exchange and anisotropy, and are therefore under consideration as potential building blocks for the next generation of single‐molecule magnets. In this Perspective, a review of the recent development in this field is given, and some discrepancies between the spectroscopic and magnetic data are discussed. © 2014 European Commission.

An updated version of the computational package SIMPRE that uses the standard conventions for Stevens crystal field parameters

The crystal field approach used by SIMPRE is analyzed, verifying the exactness of the results concerning energy levels and magnetic properties calculated by the package. To coincide with the prevailing conventions, we reformulate the presentation of the crystal field parameters, so that the results are now, also from a formal point of view, strictly correct. New calculations are presented to test the influence of neglecting the excited J states, a common but critical approximation employed by SIMPRE. For that, we examine the case of Er(trensal) complex (H₃trensal = 2,2′,2″‐tris(salicylideneimino)triethylamine) where the influence of this approximation is found to be minimal. A patched version of the code, SIMPRE 1.1, and an updated version of the user manual are now available. Finally, we comment on “Software package SIMPRE – revisited,” which apparently revisits a software package without inspecting or using the code. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Iron Polyoxometalate Single‐Molecule Magnets

Iron sandwich on a tungstate bun : Two new polyoxotungstates with paramagnetic iron(III) heteroatoms (see structure, W blue, Fe yellow, O red) possess S=15/2 and S=5 ground states. Both compounds are single‐molecule magnets, and the hexairon species shows large hysteresis (see picture) and quantum tunneling effects at low temperature. Electrochemical studies indicate that these species are stable in solution for a wide range of pH values.

     

Ligand π‐Radical Interaction with f‐Shell Unpaired Electrons in Phthalocyaninato–Lanthanoid Single‐Molecule Magnets: A Solution NMR Spectroscopic and DFT Study

The phthalocyaninato double‐decker complexes [M(obPc)₂]⁰ (M= Y^III, Tb^III, Dy^III; obPc=2,3,9,10,16,17,23,24‐octabutoxyphthalocyaninato), along with their reduced ([M(obPc)₂]^?[P(Ph)₄]⁺; M=Tb^III, Dy^III) and oxidized ([M(obPc)₂]⁺[SbCl₆]^? (M=Y^III, Tb^III) counterparts were studied with ¹H, ¹³C and 2D NMR. From the NMR data of the neutral (i.e., with one unpaired electron in the ligands) and anionic Tb^III complexes, along with the use of dispersion corrected DFT methods, it was possible to separate the metal‐centered and ligand‐centered contributions to the hyperfine NMR shift. These contributions to the ¹H and ¹³C hyperfine NMR shifts were further analyzed in terms of pseudocontact and Fermi contact shifts. Furthermore, from a combination of NMR data and DFT calculations, we have determined the spin multiplicity of the neutral complexes [M(obPc)₂]⁰ (M=Tb^III and Dy^III) at room temperature. From the NMR data of the cationic Tb^III complex, for which actually no experimental structure determination is available, we have analyzed the structural changes induced by oxidation from its neutral/anionic species and shown that the interligand distance decreases upon oxidation. The fast electron exchange process between the neutral and anionic Tb^III double‐decker complexes was also studied.

Size-Controlled Hapticity Switching in [Ln(C9H9)(C8H8)] Sandwiches

Sandwich complexes of lanthanides have recently attracted a considerable amount of interest due to their applications as Single Molecule Magnet (SMM). Herein, a comprehensive series of heteroleptic lanthanide sandwich complexes ligated by the cyclononatetraenyl (Cnt) and the cyclooctatetraenyl (Cot) ligand [Ln(Cot)(Cnt)] (Ln=Tb, Dy, Er, Ho, Yb, and Lu) is reported. The coordination behavior of the Cnt ligand has been investigated along the series and shows different coordination patterns in the solid-state depending on the size of the corresponding lanthanide ion without altering its overall anisotropy. Besides the characterization in the solid state by single-crystal X-ray diffraction and in solution by ¹H NMR, static magnetic studies and ab initio computational studies were performed.     

Lanthanide SMMs Based on Belt Macrocycles: Recent Advances and General Trends

Enhancement of axial magnetic anisotropy is the central objective to push forward the performance of Single-Molecule Magnet (SMM) complexes. In the case of mononuclear lanthanide complexes, the chemical environment around the paramagnetic ion must be tuned to place strongly interacting ligands along either the axial positions or the equatorial plane, depending on the oblate or prolate preference of the selected lanthanide. One classical strategy to achieve a precise chemical environment for a metal centre is using highly structured, chelating ligands. A natural approach for axial-equatorial control is the employment of macrocycles acting in a belt conformation, providing the equatorial coordination environment, and leaving room for axial ligands. In this review, we present a survey of SMMs based on the macrocycle belt motif. Literature systems are divided in three families (crown ether, Schiff-base and metallacrown) and their general properties in terms of structural stability and SMM performance are briefly discussed.
