Abstract
Two cyano-bridged dimetallic complexes derived from Mn III(Schiff-base) and [Cr I(CN) 5NO] 3−, [Mn(3-CH 3)salen] 3[Cr(CN) 5NO]·2.5H 2O ( 1) and [Mn(5-CH 3)salen] 6[Cr(CN) 5NO] 2·2CH 3OH·16H 2O ( 2) [salen = N,N′-ethylenebis (salicylideneiminato)dianion] were synthesized and characterized. The reaction conditions of the two complexes are identical. The substituting group (CH 3–) in the salen-type ligands gives different assembly styles for the two complexes, 1D zigzag chain for 1 while 2D grid network for 2. The magnetic investigation indicates the dominant antiferromagnetic interactions between the Mn(III) and Cr(I) mediated by the CN bridge. Due to the weak interchain antiferromagnetic interactions, no magnetic ordering phase was observed in complex 1. Interestingly, complex 2 showed the long range ferrimagnetic magnetic ordering with T c = 9 K, in contrast to 1. Furthermore, the hysteresis loop confirms the nature of complex 2 as soft ferrimagnet.
