Abstract

Theoretical calculations for the first tri-iron-based extended metal atom chain (EMAC) molecule are reported. The studied triple-high-spin (S = 6) complex exhibits ferromagnetic ordering (according to Ising and spin-projection approximations), which renders it unique among all previously prepared and theoretically calculated EMAC compounds. This ordering originates from the prevailing ferromagnetic nearest-neighbor interactions, while the magnetic superexchange between terminal Fe(2+) sites is weaker and antiferromagnetic. Calculations indicate that this linear chain system based on a tri-iron core shows potential for the development of spin-frustrated behavior, which could be achieved through rational modification of the equatorial and axial ligands.
