Abstract:
A series of new three-dimensional hybrid heterometallic haloplumbates [Pb8M(μ3-O)2X8(XH)(eg)3] n {H2eg = ethylene glycol; X = Cl, M = Co (1a), Ni (1b), Zn (1c); X = Br, M = Ni (2a), Zn (2b); X = I, M = Zn (3)} have been solvothermally synthesized and structurally characterized. Compounds 1a-c, 2a-b, and 3 consist of one-dimensional haloplumbate [Pb2X9] chains, and heptanuclear heterometallic [Pb6M(μ3-O)2(eg)3] clusters based on two [Pb3(μ3-O)(eg)1.5] cores share one M2+ ion, which are interconnected to generate three-dimensional heterometallic frameworks. Although a few heterometallic haloplumbates incorporating other metal complexes have been reported, they usually exhibit low-dimensional structures. The present heterometallic haloplumbates offer good examples of applying high-nuclear heterometallic [Pb6MO2(eg)3] clusters to construct a new type of high-dimensional hybrid heterometallic haloplumbate. Compounds 1a-b and 2a indicate unusual ferrimagnetic behavior. Their optical properties are investigated at room temperature, and density functional theory calculations of compounds 1c, 2b, and 3 are also studied.

In spin–lattice or longitudinal relaxation, the excited spins exchange energy with the surrounding lattice as they return to the lower energy level. Among several mechanisms that contribute to spin–lattice relaxation, magnetic dipolar interactions are significant. Here, the excited nucleus transfers...
