Abstract:
By the reaction of M(hfac)2 (M = Mn(II), Co(II), Cu(II), and Zn(II); hfac is the hexafluoroacetylacetonate anion) and ferrocenyl-substituted nitronyl nitroxide (L), we succeeded in the synthesis of stable heterospin complexes: mononuclear [Zn(hfac)2L], trinuclear {[Cu(hfac)2]3L2} and chain polymer [Mn(hfac)2L] and [Co(hfac)2L]. The specific steric bulkiness of the ferrocenyl substituent leads to the formation of trans-type coordination polyhedra in the [Mn(hfac)2L] and [Co(hfac)2L] chains. The introduction of the ferrocene substituent leads to an effective weakening of intermolecular or interchain magnetic exchange coupling. Ferrimagnetic ordering was observed for one-dimensional complexes [M(hfac)2L] (M = Mn(II), Co(II)). [Co(hfac)2L] exhibits features of single-chain magnet behaviour: slow relaxation of magnetization below 13 K is associated with a high coercive field (54 kOe at 2 K).

Colors 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...
