Abstract:
It is a challenge to synthesize a porous tubular coordination polymer with magnetic properties. Utilizing [Fe(II)(bipy)(CN)4](2-) (bipy = 2,2'-bipyridine) as the building block to react with Mn(2+), we successfully synthesized a cyano-bridged tubular coordination polymer with dominant ferromagnetic interactions. The inner surface of the heterometallic tube is hydrophilic, whereas the outer surface is hydrophobic. The framework is stable up to 320 °C and can adsorb N2 and CO2. The ferromagnetic interactions were transmitted via the diamagnetic N-C-Fe(II)-C-N species between Mn(2+) ions in the tube.

03:02Colors 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...

In these complexes, transition metals form coordinate covalent bonds, a kind of Lewis acid-base interaction in which both of the electrons in the bond are contributed by a donor (Lewis base) to an electron acceptor (Lewis acid). The Lewis acid in...
02:58Crystal Field Theory - Octahedral Complexes
To explain the observed behavior of transition metal complexes (such as colors), a model involving electrostatic interactions between the electrons from the ligands and the electrons in the unhybridized d orbitals of the central metal atom has been developed. This electrostatic model is crystal field theory (CFT). It helps to understand, interpret, and predict the colors, magnetic behavior, and some structures of coordination compounds of transition metals.
CFT focuses on...
02:34Structural Isomerism
Isomers are different chemical species that have the same chemical formula. Structural isomerism of coordination compounds can be divided into two subcategories, the linkage isomers and coordination-sphere isomers.
Linkage isomers occur when the coordination compound contains a ligand that can bind to the transition metal center through two different atoms. For example, the CN− ligand can bind through the carbon atom or through the nitrogen atom. Similarly,...
