“…Therefore, the stacking pattern of these complexes can be ®nely tuned through controlling the molecular conformation of the [R-BzPy] + ion. This idea motivated us to prepare a series of complexes which exhibit magnetic diversity Liu et al, 2003;Xie, Ren, Song, Zou et al, 2002;Xie, Ren, Song, Zhang et al, 2002;Xie et al, 2003). With the goal of extending our research and understanding the relationship between magnetic properties and stacking structures, we further pursued the study of [RBzpy] + [Pt(mnt) 2 ] À , because the [Pt(mnt) 2 ] À anion is similar to [Ni(mnt) 2 ] À in both molecular structure and electronic con®guration.…”
