Intramolecular and Intermolecular Magnetic Coupling Mechanism of a Dinuclear Copper(II) Complex

Abstract. A new dinuclear complex, [Cu₂(μ_{1, 3}‐NCS)₂(Ophen)₂(OH₂)₂], (HOphen = 1, 10‐phenanthrolin‐2‐ol) was synthesized and its crystal structure was determined by X‐ray crystallography. In the complex, the Cu^II ion assumes a distorted square pyramidal arrangement and the thiocyanate anion functions as bridged ligand and Ophen as capped ligand. The analysis of the crystal structure shows that there exists a π–π stacking interaction between the adjacent complexes. The theoretical calculations reveal that the magnetic coupling pathways from the thiocyanate anions bridge ligand and the π–π stacking magnetic coupling pathway resulted in the weak ferromagnetic interactions with 2J = 18.46 cm^–1 and 2J = 10.46 cm^–1, respectively. The calculations also display that the spin delocalization and the spin polarization occur in the bridge magnetic coupling system and the π–π stacking magnetic coupling system, and the magnetic coupling mechanism of the π–π stacking can be explained with McConnell I spin‐polarization mechanism. The fitting for the data of the variable‐temperature magnetic susceptibility with dinuclear Cu^II formula gave the magnetic coupling constant 2J = 2.84 cm^–1 and zJ′ = 0.03 cm^–1, in which the 2J = 2.84 cm^–1 is attributed to the magnetic coupling from the bridge dinuclear Cu^II unit and the zJ′ = 0.03 cm^–1 is ascribed to the π–π stacking magnetic coupling system. The study may benefit to understand the magnetic coupling mechanism of π–π stacking system.     

Synthesis and Magnetic Studies of Copper (II)‐Manganese (II) Heterobinuclear Complexes with an Oxamido Bridge

Four new copper (II)‐manganese (II) heterobinuclear complexes bridged byN, N'‐bis[2‐(dimethylamino)ethyl)]oxamido dianion (dmoxæ) and end‐capped with 1, 10‐phenanthroline (phen), 5‐methyl‐1, 10‐phenanthroline (Mephen), diaminoethane (en) or 1,3‐di‐aminopropane (pn). respectively, namely, [Cu(dmoxae)MnL₂] (CIO₄)₂ (L=phen, Mephen, en, pn), have been synthesized and characterized by elemental analyses, IR, electronic spectral studies, and molar conductivity measurements. The electronic reflectance spectrum indicates the presence of spin exchange‐coupling interaction between bridged copper(II) and manganese (II) ions. The cryomagnetic measurements (4.2‐300 K) of [Cu(dmoxae)Mn(phen)₂](CIO₄)₂ (1) and [Cu(dmoxae)Mn(Mephen)₂](CIO₄)₂(2) complexes demonstrated an antiferromagnetic interaction between the adjacent manganese(II) and copper (II) ions through the oxamido‐bridge within each molecule. On the basis of spin Hamiltonian, H= ‐ 2JS₁. S₂. the magnetic analysis was carried out for the two complexes and the spin‐coupling constant (J) was evaluated as ?35.9 cm^?1 for 1 and ‐ 32.6 cm^?1 for 2. The influence of methyl substitutions in the amine groups of the bridging ligand on magnetic interactions between the metal ions of this kind of complexes is also discussed.     

Intermolecular Interaction and Magnetic Coupling Mechanism of a Mononuclear Nickel(II) Complex

The mononuclear complex [Ni(HOphen)(OSO₃)(H₂O)₃] · 5H₂O (HOphen = 1, 10‐phenanthrolin‐2‐ol) was prepared and its single structure was determined by X‐ray crystallography. In this complex, the Ni^II ion has a distorted octahedral arrangement. Crystal structure analysis shows that two kinds of π–π stacking interactions and C–H ··· O short contact intermolecular interactions exist among the adjacent complexes. Fitting to the variable‐temperature magnetic susceptibility data gave the magnetic coupling constant, 2J = –0.98 cm^–1. Theoretical calculations, based on density functional theory (DFT) coupling with the broken‐symmetry approach (BS), revealed that the π–π stacking magnetic coupling pathways resulted in weak ferromagnetic interactions with 2J = 4.86 cm^–1 and 2J = 4.16 cm^–1, respectively, for the adjacent Ni^II ions with separations of 8.568(19) Å and 8.749(32) Å, respectively; whereas the magnetic coupling pathway of the C–H ··· O short contact intermolecular interaction led to a weak antiferromagnetic interaction with 2J = –17.62 cm^–1 for the adjacent Ni^II ions with a separation of 10.291(26) Å. The ferromagnetic coupling sign can be explained by the McConnell I spin‐polarization mechanism.     

Synthesis and magnetic properties of copper (II)-manganese (II) compounds with N,N′-ethylenedisalicylamidatocuprate(II)

By the reaction of sodium N,N′-ethylenedisalicylamidatocuprate ( I ) pentahydrate, Na₂[Cu(samen)]·5H₂O, with a manganese ( I ) salt and 2,2′-dipyridyl (bpy) or 1,10-phenanthroline (phen), the binuclear metal complexes [Cu(samen) Mn(L)₂] (L ? bpy, phen) have been synthesized. Based on IR, elemental analyses and electronic spectra, the complexes are proposed to consist of a four-coordinated Cu( I ) in a distorted planar environment and Mn( I ) in a distorted octahedron. The complexes have been characterized with variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility (4.2—300 K) and the susceptibility data were least-squares fit to susceptibility equation derived from the spin Hamiltonian including single-ion zero-field interaction for Mn²⁺ ion, H?—2JS₁·S₂—DS, where D is the axial zero-field splitting parameter for the Mn(II) ion. The exchange integral, J, was found to be —34.6 and —28.8 cm^?1 for [Cu(samen)Mn(bpy)₂] and [Cu(samen)Mn(phen)₂] respectively. The weak antiferromagnetic spin-exchange interaction can be interpreted by considering σ-π exchange pathway.     

Oxovanadium(IV), manganese(II) and manganese(III) carbodithioates exhibiting abnormal magnetic behaviour

Summary New carbodithioate complexes of the oxovanadium(IV), manganese(II) and manganese(III) ions have been prepared and studied by i.r. and electronic spectral and variable temperature magnetic susceptibility (77K to room temperature) measurements. The carbodithioate ligands, 4-methylpiperazine-1-carbodithioate (4-MPipzcdt) and 4-phenylpiperazine-1-carbodithioate (4-PPipzcdt), were derived from heterocyclic secondary amines. The VO(4-MPipzcdt)₂ and VO(4-PPipzcdt)₂ complexes possess C _4v symmetry; Mn(4-PPipzcdt)₂ is tetrahedral and Mn(4-PPipzcdt)₃ is octahedral. All exhibit abnormal room temperature magnetic moments and the variable temperature magnetic moments suggest antiferromagnetism for the oxovanadium(IV) and the manganese(II) complexes and the occurrence of low spin (³ T _1g ) high spin (⁵ E _g ) equilibrium in addition to antiferromagnetic interactions in the manganese(III) complex. The spin-spin exchange parameter (-2J) value for the VO(4-MPipzcdt)₂ complex has been calculated using variable temperature magnetic susceptibility data.     

Slow Magnetic Relaxation,Antiferromagnetic Ordering,and Metamagnetism in MnII(H2dapsc)-FeIII(CN)6 Chain Complex with Highly Anisotropic Fe-CN-Mn Spin Coupling

Reactions of [Mn(H₂dapsc)Cl₂] ⋅ H₂O (dapsc=2,6- diacetylpyridine bis(semicarbazone)) with K₃[Fe(CN)₆] and (PPh₄)₃[Fe(CN)₆] lead to the formation of the chain polymeric complex {[Mn(H₂dapsc)][Fe(CN)₆][K(H₂O)_3.5]}_n ⋅ 1.5n H₂O ( 1 ) and the discrete pentanuclear complex {[Mn(H₂dapsc)]₃[Fe(CN)₆]₂(H₂O)₂} ⋅ 4 CH₃OH ⋅ 3.4 H₂O ( 2 ), respectively. In the crystal structure of 1 the high-spin [Mn^II(H₂dapsc)]²⁺ cations and low-spin hexacyanoferrate(III) anions are assembled into alternating heterometallic cyano-bridged chains. The K⁺ ions are located between the chains and are coordinated by oxygen atoms of the H₂dapsc ligand and water molecules. The magnetic structure of 1 is built from ferrimagnetic chains, which are antiferromagnetically coupled. The complex exhibits metamagnetism and frequency-dependent ac magnetic susceptibility, indicating single-chain magnetic behavior with a Mydosh-parameter φ=0.12 and an effective energy barrier (U_eff/k_B) of 36.0 K with τ₀=2.34×10⁻¹¹ s for the spin relaxation. Detailed theoretical analysis showed highly anisotropic intra-chain spin coupling between [Fe^III(CN)₆]³⁻ and [Mn^II(H₂dapsc)]²⁺ units resulting from orbital degeneracy and unquenched orbital momentum of [Fe^III(CN)₆]³⁻ complexes. The origin of the metamagnetic transition is discussed in terms of strong magnetic anisotropy and weak AF interchain spin coupling.     

Synthesis,characterization and magnetism of copper(II)‐lanthanide(III) heterobimetalic complexes with N,N'‐oxamidobis‐(benzoato)cuprate (II)

Seven new μ‐oxamido copper(II)‐lanthanide(III) heterobimetalic complexes described by the formula Cu(obbz) Ln‐(Ph‐phen)₂NO₃(Ln = La, Nd, Eu, Gd, Tb, Ho, Er), where obbz denotes the oxamidobis(benzoato) and Ph‐phen represents 5‐phenyl‐1, 10‐phenanthroline, have been synthesized and characterized by the elemental analyses, spectroscopic (IR, UV, ESR) studies, magnetic moments (at room temperature) and molar conductivity measurement. The temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility of Cu(obbz)Gd(Ph‐phen)₂NO₃ complex has been measured over the range 4.2–300 K. The least‐squares fit of the experimental susceptibilities based on the spin Hamiltonian operator, ? = ?2 J?₁·?₂, yielded J= +1.28 cm^?1, a weak ferromagnetic coupling, A plausible mechanism for a ferromagnetic coupling between Gd(III)‐Cu(II) is discussed in terms of spin‐polarization.     

Synthesis,Crystal Structure and Magnetism of A 1-D Polymeric Manganese(II) Complex with 2-Hydroxyl-2-Hydroxylate-Malonate as Bridging Ligand

A one-dimensional chain complex {Na[MnL(H₂O)₂]} _n (L = 2-hydroxyl-2-hydroxylate-malonate trivalent anion) has been synthesized and its crystal structure determined by X-ray crystallography. In the complex each Mn ion is located in a distorted octahedral environment with two oxygen atoms O(7) and O(8) from terminal ligands of two H₂O molecules, and four other coordinating oxygen atoms O(1), O(5), O(3A) and O(6A) from two bridging ligands, respectively. Each bridging ligand provides four coordinating oxygen atoms, in which O(6) comes from the hydroxylate, O(5) from the hydroxyl, and O(1) and O(3) from two carboxylate groups, respectively. The O(1) and O(5) atoms coordinate to one Mn ion and the O(3) and O(6) atoms coordinate to another Mn ion; a one-dimensional chain is thereby constructed. The variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility of the complex was measured in the 4–300 K range. The magnetic coupling parameter is consistent with an antiferromagnetic exchange and generates the antiferromagnetic coupling parameter, 2J=–0.0544 cm^–1.     

One‐Dimensional Ferromagnetically Coupled Bimetallic Chains Constructed with trans‐[Ru(acac)2(CN)2]−: Syntheses,Structures, Magnetic Properties,and Density Functional Theoretical Study

Four cyano‐bridged 1D bimetallic polymers have been prepared by using the paramagnetic building block trans‐[Ru(acac)₂(CN)₂]^? (Hacac=acetylacetone): {[{Ni(tren)}{Ru(acac)₂(CN)₂}][ClO₄]?CH₃OH}_n ( 1 ) (tren=tris(2‐aminoethyl)amine), {[{Ni(cyclen)}{Ru(acac)₂(CN)₂}][ClO₄]? CH₃OH}_n ( 2 ) (cyclen=1,4,7,10‐tetraazacyclododecane), {[{Fe(salen)}{Ru(acac)₂(CN)₂}]}_n ( 3 ) (salen^2?=N,N′‐bis(salicylidene)‐o‐ethyldiamine dianion) and [{Mn(5,5′‐Me₂salen)}₂{Ru(acac)₂(CN)₂}][Ru(acac)₂(CN)₂]? 2 CH₃OH ( 4 ) (5,5′‐Me₂salen=N,N′‐bis(5,5′‐dimethylsalicylidene)‐o‐ethylenediimine). Compounds 1 and 2 are 1D, zigzagged NiRu chains that exhibit ferromagnetic coupling between Ni^II and Ru^III ions through cyano bridges with J=+1.92 cm^?1, z J′=?1.37 cm^?1, g=2.20 for 1 and J=+0.85 cm^?1, z J′=?0.16 cm^?1, g=2.24 for 2 . Compound 3 has a 1D linear chain structure that exhibits intrachain ferromagnetic coupling (J=+0.62 cm^?1, z J′=?0.09 cm^?1, g=2.08), but antiferromagnetic coupling occurs between FeRu chains, leading to metamagnetic behavior with T_N=2.6 K. In compound 4 , two Mn^III ions are coordinated to trans‐[Ru(acac)₂(CN)₂]^? to form trinuclear Mn₂Ru units, which are linked together by π–π stacking and weak Mn???O* interactions to form a 1D chain. Compound 4 shows slow magnetic relaxation below 3.0 K with ?=0.25, characteristic of superparamagnetic behavior. The Mn^III???Ru^III coupling constant (through cyano bridges) and the Mn^III???Mn^III coupling constant (between the trimers) are +0.87 and +0.24 cm^?1, respectively. Compound 4 is a novel single‐chain magnet built from Mn₂Ru trimers through noncovalent interactions. Density functional theory (DFT) combined with the broken symmetry state method was used to calculate the molecular magnetic orbitals and the magnetic exchange interactions between Ru^III and M (M=Ni^II, Fe^III, and Mn^III) ions. To explain the somewhat unexpected ferromagnetic coupling between low‐spin Ru^III and high‐spin Fe^III and Mn^III ions in compounds 3 and 4 , respectively, it is proposed that apart from the relative symmetries, the relative energies of the magnetic orbitals may also be important in determining the overall magnetic coupling in these bimetallic assemblies.     

High-spin Mangan(II)-Phthalocyanine: Darstellung und spektroskopische Eigenschaften von Acidophthalocyaninatomanganat(II)

High Spin Manganese(II) Phthalocyanines: Preparation and Spectroscopical Properties of Acidophthalocyaninatomanganate(II) Acidophthalocyaninatomanaganese(III) is reduced by boranate, thioacetate or hydrogensulfide to yield acidophthalo-cyaninatomanganate(II) ([Mn(X)Pc^2?]^?; X = Cl, Br, NCO, NCS) being isolated as tetra(n-butyl)ammonium salt. In the cyclovoltammogram of [Mn(NCO)Pc^2?]^? the halv-wave potential for the redoxcouple Mn^II/Mn^III is at ?0.13 V, that of the first ring reduction at ?0.99 V. The magnetic moments are indicative of high-spin ⁶A₁ ground states: μ_Mn = 5.84 (NCO), 5.78(Cl), 5.65 (Br), 5.68 μ_B (NCS). A Curie-like temperature dependence of μ_Mn is observed in the region 300–30 K. Below 30 K an increase in μ_Mn occurs due to weak intermolecular ferromagnetic coupling. The ESR spectra confirm the S = 5/2 ground state with a strong g = 6 resonance observed (A_Mn = 80 G) as expected for an axially distorted ligand-field. Besides the typical π-π* transitions of the Pc^2?-ligand several weak bands are observed in the Uv-vis-n.i.r. spectra at ca. 7.5, 9.1, 14.0 and 19.0 kK that are assigned to trip-multiplet transitions. In resonance with the band at 19.0 kK the Mn? X stretching vibration (v(MnX)) is resonance Raman enhanced: X = NCO: 319, Cl: 286, SCN: 238, Br: 202 cm^?1. These vibrational frequencies are confirmed by the f.i.r. spectra. In the case of the thiocyanato-complex probably both forms of bonding of the ambident NCS-ligand are present (v(Mn? NCS): 274 cm^?1). The frequencies of the vibrations of the inner (CN)₈ ring are reduced by up to 20 cm^?1 as compared with those of low spin Mn^II phthalocyanines.     

Prediction of Extremely Strong Antiferromagnetic Superexchange in Silver(II) Fluorides: Challenging the Oxocuprates(II)

Strong magnetic coupling between the spins of unpaired electrons is an essential ingredient of many fascinating physical phenomena. Here we report calculations using the hybrid HSE06 functional of magnetic superexchange constants, J , for a series of low‐dimensional Cu^II and Ag^II binary and ternary systems with fluoride and oxide ligands. The calculations correctly reproduce the sign and size of the magnetic superexchange constants for prototypical antiferromagnetic (AFM) 1D (J_1D ) and 2D (J_2D ) systems, while overestimating the absolute values of J by about 11 %. We find that [AgF][BF₄], a quasi‐1D system with linear infinite [Ag^IIF⁺] chains, is predicted to exhibit an unprecedented strong AFM superexchange via one atom (F), with J_1D about −300 meV. Compression of [AgF][BF₄] to 10 GPa should lead to a further increase in AFM interactions with J_1D reaching −360 meV at 10 GPa.     

Synthesis, crystal structures and magnetic properties of M(II)Cu(II) chains (M = Mn and Co) with sterically hindered alkyl-substituted phenyloxamate bridging ligands

A series of neutral oxamato‐bridged heterobimetallic chains of general formula [MCu(L^x)₂(S)₂] ? p S ? q H₂O [p=0–1, q=0–2.5; L¹=N‐2,6‐dimethylphenyloxamate, S=DMF with M=Mn ( 1 a ) and Co ( 1 b ); L²=N‐2,6‐diethylphenyloxamate, S=DMF with M=Mn ( 2 a ) and Co ( 2 b ) or S=DMSO with M=Mn ( 2 c ) and Co ( 2 d ); L³=N‐2,6‐diisopropylphenyloxamate, S=DMF with M=Mn ( 3 a ) and Co ( 3 b ) or S=DMSO with M=Mn ( 3 c ) and Co ( 3 d )] were prepared by treating the corresponding anionic oxamatocopper(II) complexes [Cu(L^x)₂]^2? (x=1–3) with M²⁺ cations (M=Mn and Co) in DMF or DMSO as the solvent. The single‐crystal X‐ray structures of 2 a and 3 a reveal the occurrence of well‐isolated, zigzag, oxamato‐bridged manganese(II)–copper(II) chains. The intrachain Cu ??? Mn distances across the oxamato bridge are 5.3761(7) and 5.4002(17) Å for 2 a and 3 a , respectively, whereas the shortest interchain Mn ??? Mn distances are 9.4475(16) and 8.1649(14) Å for 2 a and 3 a , respectively. All of these M^IICu^II chains (M=Mn and Co) exhibit 1D ferrimagnetic behaviour with moderately strong intrachain antiferromagnetic coupling between the square‐planar Cu^II and octahedral high‐spin M^II ions across the oxamato bridge [?J=31.4–35.2 and 33.4–44.8 cm^?1, respectively; H =∑_i?J S _M,i( S _Cu,i+ S _Cu,i?1)]. Only the Co^IICu^II chains show slow magnetic relaxation effects characteristic of single‐chain magnets (SCMs). Analysis of the magnetic relaxation dynamics of 3 d shows a thermally activated mechanism (Arrhenius law dependence) with values of the pre‐exponential factor (τ₀=2.6×10^?9 s) and activation energy (E_a=7.7 cm^?1) that are typical of SCMs. In contrast, two relaxation regimes are observed for 2 d in different temperature regions (τ₀=3.2×10^?10 s and E_a=24.7 cm^?1 for T<4.5 K and τ₀=3.2×10^?14 s and E_a=37.5 cm^?1 for T>4.5 K).     

Is [Cu3(L2)Cl2]2+ a molecule with geometrically spin frustration? DFT study on magnetic competing interaction in hetero-bridged tricopper(II) complex

The theoretical calculations on magnetic exchange interaction of the hetero-bridged tricopper(II) complex [Cu₃(L²)Cl₂]²⁺ and a related binuclear copper(II) model are carried out by using the density functional theory combined with the broken-symmetry approach. Meanwhile, one strategy computationally, so called isolated magnetic pair approach, is suggested to explore the spin frustration from geometry topology in poly-nuclear magnetic systems. It is found that the ferromagnetic coupling (J₂>0) of Cu1–Cu3 pair bridged by double μ–Cl ligands, in nature, is intrinsic, not resulted from geometrically spin frustration in the hetero-bridged tricopper(II) studied. However, in the whole molecule exist two competing contributions of antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic coupling, and the antiferromagnetic coupling (J₁) from Cu1–(μ–OR)–Cu2 and Cu2–(μ–OR)–Cu3 pairs dominates the magnetic behavior of the whole molecular system. On the other hand, the variation of J₁/J₂ ratio affects significantly on magnetic properties of the system. The calculated effective magnetic moment μ_eff of 2.26μ_B at the OPerdew functional level is compared to experimentally observation of 2.70μ_B in the solution. The briefly analysis of molecular magnetic orbitals demonstrated that the two local magnetic orbitals on Cu1 and Cu3 ions are orthogonal each other, and primarily responsible for the intrinsic ferromagnetic coupling between Cu1–(μ–Cl)₂–Cu3. By comparison of spin population distributions for the Cu-triad and Cu-dimer the validity of the isolated magnetic pair approach is confirmed.     

Synthesis,crystal structure and magnetism of a three-dimensional Mn(II) coordination polymers with 2,5-dimethylpyrazine-1,4-dioxide as bridging ligand

A novel three-dimensional Mn(II) coordination polymer, {[Mn(μ_1,6-dmpzdo)₃]?·?(ClO₄)₂} _n , has been synthesized with 2,5-dimethylpyrazine-1,4-dioxide (dmpzdo) as a bridging ligand and its crystal structure determined by X-ray crystallography. The complex crystallizes in a trigonal system with a space group R-3 and a?=?11.6672(14), b?=?11.6672(14), c?=?16.652(4)?Å. In the complex each Mn(II) is coordinated by six μ_1,6-dmpzdo bridging ligands and each μ_1,6-dmpzdo bridging ligand coordinates two Mn(II) ions, forming a three-dimensional structure. The variable temperature (4–300?K) magnetic susceptibility data gave the magnetic coupling constant 2J?=??0.30?cm^?1.     

Accurate Determination of the Electronic Structure Parameters of the Spin Ladder Compounds SrCu2O3, Sr2Cu3O5 and CaCu2O3

Ab initio embedded cluster calculations have been employed to calculate a large number of electronic structure parameters of three different spin ladders, namely SrCu₂O₃, CaCu₂O₃ and Sr₂Cu₃O₅. Using the iterative difference dedicated configuration interaction methodology, magnetic couplings J and hopping amplitudes t are determined for first to fourth nearest neighbors. In addition, the four-body cyclic exchange J _ring is extracted and the direct exchange K, the neutral-ionic hopping integral t ₀ and the on-site repulsion U are calculated for first and second nearest neighbor copper ions. The substitution of these parameters in the pertubative superexchange relation J=2K−4t ₀²/U yields magnetic coupling parameters in close agreement with the variational estimates. The spin ladders can be considered as an interpolation between the one-dimensional (1D) spin chains and the 2D antiferromagnets. Hence, results are compared with similar parameters in the spin chain Sr₂CuO₃ and the two-dimensional antiferromagnet La₂CuO₄.     

Oxalate-bridged mixed-valence trinuclear manganese(II)-manganese(III)-manganese(II) complexes: synthesis and magnetism

Summary Two novel Mn^II-Mn^III-Mn^II oxalato complexes have been synthesized and characterized, namely [Mn₂Mn(ox)₃(L)₄](ClO₄) [L = 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) or 5-nitro-1,10-phenanthroline (NO₂-phen), respectively], where ox stands for the oxalate dianion. Based on i.r., elemental analyses and electronic spectra, these complexes are proposed to have extended oxalatobridged structures consisting of Mn^II and Mn^III ions, in which Mn^III and each Mn^II ion has a distorted octahedral environment. The temperature dependence of magnetic susceptibility for [Mn₂Mn(ox)₃(phen)₄] (ClO₄) was measured over the 4.1–300 K range and the observed data were successfully simulated by an equation based on the spin-Hamiltonian operator ( = -2J( _{1 2} + _{2 3})), giving the exchange integral J = -1.57cm^–1. This indicates weak antiferromagnetic spin exchange interaction between Mn^II and Mn^III ions.     

Hydrothermal synthesis and crystal structure of a novel 2-D polymeric manganese (II) complex with mixed ligands

A novel polymeric complex, [Mn(phen)(pdc)]_∞ (phen=1,10-phenanthroline, H₂pdc=2,5-pyridinedicarboxylic acid) has been synthesized from the hydrothermal reaction system of H₂pdc, phen, MnO₂, and H₂O. [Mn(phen)(pdc)]_∞ is characteristic of an edge-sharing dinuclear Mn^II structure unit bridged by pdc, leading to a 2-D framework whose stacking is based on weak H-bond interaction. The temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility for [Mn(phen)(pdc)]_∞ indicates antiferromagnetic coupling [J = −2.76(4) cm⁻¹] between the adjacent paramagnetic Mn^II ions.     

UNO DMRG CAS CI calculations of binuclear manganese complex Mn(IV)2O2(NHCHCO2)4: Scope and applicability of Heisenberg model

Both direct exchange and super-exchange interactions cooperate to realize inter-spin magnetic interaction in binuclear manganese complex Mn(IV)₂O₂(NHCHCO₂)₄ with a di-μ-oxo path. We revisited this spin system using DMRG CAS methods and CAS selection procedures. Our results indicate that our previous “dynamically extended spin polarization” (DE-SP) procedure for organic polyradicals and so forth does not work well. Thus, we have examined another selection procedure, the “dynamically extended super-exchange” (DE-SE) procedure. DMRG CASCI [18,18] by UB3LYP(HS)-UNO(DE-SE) can realize antiferromagnetic J values similar to experimental ones (−87 cm⁻¹). In addition, all J values between all spin states (HS[septet],IS[quintet],IS[triplet],LS[singlet])were also shown to be correct under sufficiently large M values. © 2018 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.     

Temperature dependence of the 1J(11B19F) spin–spin coupling in BF3 molecule

The ¹J(¹¹B¹⁹F) spin–spin coupling of gaseous BF₃ was observed in ¹¹B NMR spectra as a function of density in a wide range of temperatures. Following the extrapolation of the measured values to the zero‐density limit, the coupling constant free from intermolecular effects ¹J₀(¹¹B¹⁹F) was obtained for each temperature. In contrast to previous investigations, the final results indicate a nonlinear dependence of ¹J₀(¹¹B¹⁹F) on temperature. In the corresponding ab initio calculations of spin–spin coupling constants performed at the coupled cluster singles and doubles (CCSD) level to obtain a reliable result for this coupling constant we had to take into account large vibrational corrections.

Structure and magnetism of a linear trimanganese (III,II, III) complex based on benzoate and Schiff-base ligands

Reaction of [Mn₃O(PhCO₂)₆(py)₂(H₂O)] with a tridentate Schiff-base 2-salicylideneaminoethanol (H₂sae) affords a trinuclear manganese complex [Mn₃(PhCO₂)₄(sae)₂] (1). X-ray structural analysis of 1 reveals that three manganese ions are linear with each pair bridged by two benzoate groups and one μ-alkoxo oxygen of the sae^2? ligand. The central manganese has an octahedral {Mn^IIO₆} configuration and the terminal ones are five-coordinate {Mn^IIINO₄} with a Jahn-Teller elongation axis. The trinuclear complex shows small antiferromagnetic exchange J coupling. The magnetic susceptibility data in the temperature range 2–300 K give the best fitting parameters with J?=??8.44 cm^–1, g?=?2.02, zJ ′?=??0.34 cm^–1, and R ²?=?0.99942. The magnetization versus external magnetic field measurements at 2 K proved that the ground state is S?=?3/2.
