The superexchange interaction between transition-metal ions via oxygen dianion was investigated by the ab initio molecular orbital (MO) method. It is found that the magnitude of the effective exchange integral (J
ab) for the CuOCu unit is far larger than those of the NiONi, CrOCr and FeOFe units. Implications of this result are discussed in relation to the high T
c superconductivity for Ba-La-Cu-O and R-Ba-Cu-O (R=Y, etc.).
A generalized molecular orbital (GMO) theory for magnetically interacting organic compounds has been presented. The theory is applied to the calculations of the effective exchange integrals (Jab) for the cyclophane-type carbene dimers whose para and ortho-isomers have the high-spin ground state. The calculated Jab-values are consistent with observations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
