Abstract:
The synthesis, crystal structures and magnetic properties of two families of heterospin complexes containing lanthanide ions and a bis(imino nitroxide) biradical (IPhIN = 1-iodo-3,5-bis(4',4',5',5'-tetramethyl-4',5'-dihydro-1H-imidazole-1'-oxyl)benzene) are reported: in [Ln2(hfac)6(IPhIN)(H2O)2] compounds, two lanthanide ions [Ln = Gd(III) (1) and Dy(III) (2)] are coordinated to the biradical, and in [Ln(hfac)3(IPhIN)(H2O)] compounds, one lanthanide ion (Ln = Tb(III) (3), Gd(III) (4) or Dy(III) (5)) is coordinated to the biradical. Ferromagnetic intramolecular magnetic interactions between Gd(III) and the biradical were found for 1 and 4, while intramolecular magnetic interactions between the radicals were ferro- and antiferromagnetic, respectively. Compound 2 shows a field induced slow relaxation of magnetization, which (under an external applied field of 2 kOe) exhibits an activation energy barrier of ΔE/kB = 27 K and a pre-exponential factor of 1.4 × 10(-8) s. To support the magnetic characterization of compound 3ab initio calculations were also performed.

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, SCN− can...

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...
