Abstract:
Novel mononuclear cymantrenecarboxylate complexes of transition metals, [Co(H2O)6](CymCO2)2·4H2O (Cym = (η5-C5H4)Mn(CO)3) (1), [Ni(H2O)6](CymCO2)2·4H2O (2), [Zn(H2O)6](CymCO2)2·4H2O (3), [Co(CymCO2)2(imz)2] (imz = imidazole, 4), [Co(CymCO2)2(bpy)2]·2PhMe (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridyl, 5), [Ni(CymCO2)(bpy)2(H2O)][CymCO2]·0.5MePh·2H2O (6), [Cu(CymCO2)2(imz)2] (7), and [Cu(CymCO2)2(bpy)(H2O)] (8), were obtained and characterized by single-crystal X-ray analysis. Complexes 1-3 are isostructural. Magnetism of the Co complexes 1, 4, and 5 was studied; it was shown that they exhibit the properties of field-induced single-molecule magnets with magnetization reversal barriers (ΔE/kB) of 44, 13, and 10 K, respectively. Thermal decomposition of complexes 1-8 was studied by means of DSC and TGA methods. The final products of thermolysis of 1-6 in air, according to powder XRD data, are the pure spinel phases MMn2O4; for the cases of copper complexes, the mixtures of CuMn2O4 and CuO were found in the products.

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...
