Two Mn6 single-molecule magnets with sulfur-contained capping ligand

The reactions of Mn(ClO₄)₂·6H₂O, 1-(2-hydroxyphenyl)ethanone oxime (abbr. as MeSao), NEt₃ and thiophene-2-carboxylic acid/thiophene-3-carboxylic acid (2-TCA/3-TCA) lead to [Mn₆O₂(MeSao)₆(2-TCA)₂(EtOH)₄(H₂O)₂](EtOH)₂ (1) and [Mn₆O₂(MeSao)₆(3-TCA)₂(EtOH)₄(H₂O)₂](EtOH)₂ (2), respectively. Their structures can be described as a core of the [Mn^III₆O₂(Mesao)₆(O₂C-thiophene)₂(EtOH)₄] consisting two off-set, stacked [Mn^III₃(μ³-O²⁻)]⁷⁺ triangular subunits linked by two central oximato O-atoms and two O-atoms from phenoxide group. Magnetic investigation revealed that 1 and 2 all have a spin ground state S = 4, and both complexes show single-molecule magnet behaviors with similar energy barriers U_eff ∼45 K.     

A hexanuclear manganese(III) complex constructed from triangular-shaped [Mn3O] units with azide bridge

Mixed-metal single-molecule magnets: Syntheses, structure, and magnetic properties of [Mn8Fe4O12(O2CR)16(H2O)4] (R = CH2Cl, CH2Br, CHCl2)

Three mixed-metal single-molecule magnets containing [Mn₈Fe₄O₁₂]¹⁶⁺ cores are synthesized and characterized. The reaction of FeCl₂·4H₂O with KMnO₄ and RCOOH (R = CH₂Cl, CH₂Br) in H₂O gives [Mn₈Fe₄O₁₂(O₂CR)₁₆(H₂O)₄] (R = CH₂Cl (1), CH₂Br (2)) in yields of 43% and 40%, respectively. Treatment of complex 1 with an excess of CHCl₂COOH in CH₂Cl₂ gives [Mn₈Fe₄O₁₂(O₂CCHCl₂)₁₆(H₂O)₄]·CH₂Cl₂·10H₂O (3·CH₂Cl₂·10H₂O) in a yield of 83%. The X-ray structure analysis reveals that all three complexes consist of a trapped-valence dodecanuclear core comprising 4Mn^III, 4Fe^III, and 4Mn^IV ions. DC magnetic susceptibility and magnetization measurements indicate that all three complexes exhibit intramolecular antiferromagnetic interaction, resulting in an S = 4 ground state. In addition, frequency-dependent out-of-phase AC magnetic susceptibility signals at low temperature for complexes 1, 2, and 3 are indicative of their single-molecule magnetism behavior.

Direct current magnetic susceptibility measurement in the 2–300 K temperature range supports a high-spin ground state. The presence of a frequency-dependent alternating current susceptibility signal indicates that the individual molecule is acting as magnet.

(La0.4Ba0.4Ca0.2)(Mn0.4Ti0.6)O3: A new titano-manganate with a high dielectric constant and antiferromagnetic interactions

A new perovskite-based titano-manganate, (La_0.4Ba_0.4Ca_0.2)(Mn_0.4Ti_0.6)O₃, has been prepared by the ceramic route at 1100°C. This oxide was found to possess the cubic perovskite structure with  Å (space group ). The refined composition as obtained by Rietveld analysis of powder X-ray data was found to be (La_0.44Ba_0.38Ca_0.18)(Mn_0.43Ti_0.57)O_2.91(3) (R_p=0.0704, wR_p=0.0828). The composition was also ascertained by Energy dispersive X-ray analysis. Iodometric studies led to a slightly higher oxygen content (compared to Rietveld refinement) corresponding to an average manganese oxidation state of 3.05. The above oxide was found to exhibit high dielectric constant (ε) of 6980 at 1 kHz decreasing to 590 at 100 kHz. At high temperatures (200°C) it shows an unusually high dielectric constant of 20,000 at 1 kHz. In addition to the dielectric properties, detailed magnetic studies show evidence of long-range antiferromagnetic interactions near 5 K. The presence of unusually high dielectric constant coupled with the long-range magnetic interactions may open up interesting applications.     

Exchange couplings in one-dimensionally arrayed 4f-3d heterometallic [Ln2Cu2]n compounds: A chemical trend of the coupling parameter

Heterometallic polymeric coordination compounds [{Ln(hfac)₂(CH₃OH)}₂{Cu(dmg)(Hdmg)}₂]_n (abbreviated as [Ln₂Cu₂]_n) involving light lanthanoid ions, Pr, Nd, Sm, and Eu, were synthesized, where H₂dmg and Hhfac stand for dimethylglyoxime and 1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoropentane-2,4-dione, respectively. The X-ray crystallographic analysis shows that their structures are isomorphous to those of the known heavy lanthanoid analogs. The exchange couplings were evaluated by high-frequency electron paramagnetic resonance and pulsed-field magnetization studies, giving ferromagnetic exchange parameters: J_Pr-Cu/k_B = 0.039(1) K, J_Nd-Cu/k_B = 0.38(1) K, J_Sm-Cu/k_B = 0.95(2) K, and no interaction between Eu and Cu ions. A significant trend is found in the order of the periodic table. The ferro- and antiferromagnetic 4f-3d couplings were characterized for the light and heavy lanthanoid derivatives, respectively. The magnitude of J_Ln-Cu decreases with a decrease of the 4f-spin portion, i.e., the number of unpaired electrons, whether the coupling is ferro- or antiferromagnetic.     

Novel Cyanide-Bridged Three-Dimensional Coordination Polymer Derived from an Octahedral Rhenium Cluster [Re6Te8(CN)6]4?: Synthesis and Crystal Structure of [{Mn(H2O)2(DMF)} 2Re6Te8(CN)6]·2H2O

The reaction of a water solution of K₄Re₆Te₈(CN)₆ with a solution of Mn(NO₃)₂ in 0.02M hydrochloric acid in the presence of DMF gave crystals of a cluster rhenium complex [{ Mn(H₂O)₂(DMF)}₂Re₆Te₈(CN)₆]·2H₂O. The structure of the compound was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction (a = 12.6679(9) Å, b = 17.4524(12) Å, c = 9.7882(6) Å, β = 105.570(6)°, V = 2084.6(3) ų, Z = 2, space group P2₁/n, R = 0. 0389). In the complex, the [Re₆Te₈(CN)₆]⁴⁻ cluster anions are linked to Mn²⁺ cations by the cyanide bridges, the manganese cations being additionally coordinated by the DMF molecule and two water molecules.

Subsolidus phase equilibria and properties in the system Bi2O3:Mn2O3±x:Nb2O5

Subsolidus phase relations have been determined for the Bi-Mn-Nb-O system in air (750-900 °C). Phases containing Mn²⁺, Mn³⁺, and Mn⁴⁺ were all observed. Ternary compound formation was limited to pyrochlore (A₂B₂O₆O′), which formed a substantial solid solution region at Bi-deficient stoichiometries (relative to Bi₂(Mn,Nb)₂O₇) suggesting that ≈14-30% of the A-sites are occupied by Mn (likely Mn²⁺). X-ray powder diffraction data confirmed that all Bi-Mn-Nb-O pyrochlores form with structural displacements, as found for the analogous pyrochlores with Mn replaced by Zn, Fe, or Co. A structural refinement of the pyrochlore 0.4000:0.3000:0.3000 Bi₂O₃:Mn₂O_3±x:Nb₂O₅ using neutron powder diffraction data is reported with the A and O′ atoms displaced (0.36 and 0.33 Å, respectively) from ideal positions to 96g sites, and with Mn²⁺ on A-sites and Mn³⁺ on B-sites (Bi_1.6Mn²⁺_0.4(Mn³⁺_0.8Nb_1.2)O₇, (?227), a=10.478(1) Å); evidence of A or O′ vacancies was not found. The displacive disorder is crystallographically analogous to that reported for Bi_1.5Zn_0.92Nb_1.5O_6.92, which has a similar concentration of small B-type ions on the A-sites. EELS spectra for this pyrochlore were consistent with an Mn oxidation between 2+ and 3+. Bi-Mn-Nb-O pyrochlores exhibited overall paramagnetic behavior with negative Curie-Weiss temperature intercepts, slight superparamagnetic effects, and depressed observed moments compared to high-spin, spin-only values. At 300 K and 1 MHz the relative dielectric permittivity of Bi_1.600Mn_1.200Nb_1.200O₇ was ≈128 with tan δ=0.05; however, at lower frequencies the sample was conductive which is consistent with the presence of mixed-valent Mn. Low-temperature dielectric relaxation such as that observed for Bi_1.5Zn_0.92Nb_1.5O_6.92 and other bismuth-based pyrochlores was not observed. Bi-Mn-Nb-O pyrochlores were readily obtained as single crystals and also as textured thin films using pulsed laser deposition.     

Synthesis and crystal structure of the novel trimanganese tetrathiolate incomplete cubane: [Mo(η-C5H5)2(H)CO][Mn3(CO)9(μ-SC6H5)4]

An unexpected trimanganese(I) tetrathiolate-bridged complex, [Mn₃(CO)₉(μ-SC₆H₅)₄]⁻, with an incomplete cubane structure, was obtained by thermal reaction of [Mn₂(CO)₁₀] with [Mo(η⁵-C₅H₅)₂(SC₆H₅)₂]. The structure, established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies, shows the cation, [Mo(η⁵-C₅H₅)₂(H)CO]⁺, directed towards the vacant site of the cubane structure. Possible routes by which the anion and the cation could be formed are discussed.
