Abstract
AbstractWe have determined by polarized neutron diffraction (PND) the low‐temperature molecular magnetic susceptibility tensor of the anisotropic low‐spin complex PPh4[FeIII(Tp)(CN)3]⋅H2O. We found the existence of a pronounced molecular easy magnetization axis, almost parallel to the C3 pseudo‐axis of the molecule, which also corresponds to a trigonal elongation direction of the octahedral coordination sphere of the FeIII ion. The PND results are coherent with electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy, magnetometry, and ab initio investigations. Through this particular example, we demonstrate the capabilities of PND to provide a unique, direct, and straightforward picture of the magnetic anisotropy and susceptibility tensors, offering a clear‐cut way to establish magneto‐structural correlations in paramagnetic molecular complexes.
