Abstract:
Organic-inorganic hybrid materials built by inorganic and organic building units have attracted intensive interest in the past decades due to unique chemical and physical properties. However, rare organic-inorganic hybrid materials show excellent permanent magnetic properties. Here, we develop a facile chemical solution method to bottom-up synthesize a new hybrid (Fe2Se3)2[Fe(dien)2]0.9. This hybrid phase with the space group P2 (14) possesses a rodlike shape with a diameter of 100-2000 nm and a length of 5-50 µm. The hybrid rods are ferrimagnetic with a Curie temperature (TC) of 11 K. They show a high coercivity (HC) of 4.67 kOe and a saturation magnetization (MS) of 13.5 emu/g at 2 K. Compared with orthorhombic (FeSe2)2Fe(dien)2, the excellent magnetic performance of the hybrid rods is ascribed to the monoclinic hybrid structure built by Fe(dien)2 complexes and Fe2Se3 double chains. Our study provides guidance for connecting inorganic fragments of FeSe2 single chains, Fe2Se3 double chains or β-Fe3Se4 layers with Fe(dien)2 complexes for organic-inorganic hybrid phases with varied crystal structures and magnetic properties.

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...

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...
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...

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...
