Abstract:
A two-dimensional sheet with long range ferromagnetic (FM) order has been hotly pursued currently. The recent success in synthesizing polymerized Fe-phthalocyanine (poly-FePc) porous sheets paves a possible way to achieve this goal. However, the poly-FePc and its analog poly-CrPc structure are intrinsically antiferromagnetic (AFM). Using first principles combined with Monte-Carlo simulations, we study systematically the carrier-induced magnetic coupling transitions in poly-CrPc and poly-FePc sheets. We show that electron doping can induce stable FM states with Curie temperatures of 130-140 K, while hole doping will enhance the stability of the AFM states. Such changes in magnetic couplings depend on the balance of AFM superexchange and FM p-d exchange.

¹H NMR: Long-Range Coupling
In alkenes, spin information is communicated via σ–π overlap, as seen in allylic (four-bond) and homoallylic (five-bond) couplings. These coupling interactions are stronger when the σ bond is parallel to the alkene...

Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...
