Abstract

To develop a new spin-crossover functional material, a magnetic hybrid compound [Fe(qsal)2][Ni(mnt)2] was designed and synthesized (Hqsal = N-(8-quinolyl)salicylaldimine, mnt = maleonitriledithiolate). The temperature dependence of magnetic susceptibility suggested the coexistence of the high-spin (HS) Fe(III) cation and π-radical anion at room temperature and a magnetic transition below 100 K. The thermal variation of crystal structures revealed that strong π-stacking interaction between the π-ligand in the [Fe(qsal)2] cation and [Ni(mnt)2] anion induced the distortion of an Fe(III) coordination structure and the suppression of a dimerization of the [Ni(mnt)2] anion. Transfer integral calculations indicated that the magnetic transition below 100 K originated from a spin-singlet formation transformation in the [Ni(mnt)2] dimer. The magnetic relaxation of Mössbauer spectra and large thermal variation of a g-value in electron paramagnetic resonance spectra below the magnetic transition temperature implied the existence of a magnetic correlation between d-spin and π-spin.

Highlights

  • Spin-crossover (SCO) between a high-spin (HS) and low-spin (LS) state in a transition metal coordination compound is one of the molecular bistable phenomena responsive to various external stimuli such as temperature, pressure, light, magnetic field, and chemicals

  • We reported the synthesis and characterization of π-d multi-spin magnetic compound

  • The Fe(III) center in the present compound was in the HS state and did not exhibit an SCO phenomenon, whereas a spin-singlet transition of the [Ni(mnt)2 ] dimer was clearly evidenced

Summary

Introduction

Spin-crossover (SCO) between a high-spin (HS) and low-spin (LS) state in a transition metal coordination compound is one of the molecular bistable phenomena responsive to various external stimuli such as temperature, pressure, light, magnetic field, and chemicals. The SCO switches a spin-state, and electronic state and coordination structure in a metal complex. 5, 54 compounds between SCO and other solid-state electronic properties such as conductivity [5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12], conductivity[13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23],. The goal of one this can research is magnetism optical properties [5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12],and magnetism [13,14,15,16,17,18,19,20,21,22,23], and optical properties [24,25].
