Abstract:
The synthesis of antiferromagnets (AFMs) has attracted extensive attention in the area of magnetic devices, such as spintronics and memory devices. Following our initial work on the employment of the homo-valent diruthenium(iii,iii) paddle wheel species with high spin states (S = 2) as building blocks and active components for the construction of molecule-based magnetic materials, the reaction of mixed-valent diruthenium(ii,iii) phosphates Ru2(H2PO4)2(H1.5PO4)2(H2O)2·2H2O (1) with H2O2, Cu2+ and ACl (A = K, Rb and Cs) in aqueous solution led to the formation of heterometallic copper diruthenium(iii,iii) phosphates A2[Cu(H2O)4Ru2(HPO4)2(PO4)2(H2O)2]·nH2O [A = K (2); A = Rb and n = 2 (3); A = Cs and n = 3 (4)]. The compounds consist of chain structures in which each octahedral environment of Cu(H2O)42+ bonds to two [Ru(HPO4)2(PO4)2]2- units in a trans manner, forming a ferrimagnetic negative chain {Cu(H2O)4Ru2(HPO4)2(PO4)2(H2O)2}n2n-, exhibiting anomalous magnetic properties. Long-range ordering temperatures, Tc, were observed around 10 K, and the control of the chain structured antiferromagnets exhibiting step-like hysteresis loops was successfully achieved through counterion tuning by replacing K with either Rb or Cs.

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...
