A cyanide-bridged decanuclear [Co6Fe4] cluster was synthesized by a one-pot reaction, and the magnetic properties and electronic configuration were investigated. The complex displayed thermally controlled electron-transfer-coupled spin transition (ETCST) behavior between Co(III) low-spin-NC-Fe(II) low-spin and Co(II) high-spin-NC-Fe(III) low-spin states, as confirmed by single-crystal X-ray, magnetic, and Mössbauer analyses.
Enantiomeric, ferromagnetically coupled decanuclear {Ni₆Fe₄} cages with adamantane-like cores were synthesized around templating tetraethylammonium cations, as shown by crystallographic analysis and CSI-MS, and their homochiral nature was confirmed by circular dichroism measurements.
Two decanuclear cyanide-bridged cage compounds were synthesized through the combination of chiral bidentate ligand-capped transition metal building blocks with hexacyanometalate ions, and their structural and magnetic properties were investigated.
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.
