NH4FeCl2(HCOO): Synthesis, Structure, and Magnetism of a Novel Low-Dimensional Magnetic Material

“…4,5,19-21 The two most closely related compounds are NH 4 MnCl 2 (OAc) 22 and [Fe(N 3 ) 2 (HCOO)][(CH 3 ) 2 NH 2 ]. 23 NH 4 MnCl 2 (OAc) shares the μ 2 -Cl bridges, though the relatively bulky methyl constituent of the acetyl linker (in place of the formate hydrogen) is repulsed by the ammonium cations, causing each to be pushed to one side of the chain, whereas in the present compound the ammonium and formate moieties are coplanar.…”

“…4,5 Certain types of low-dimensional materials containing isolated chains exhibit nearly ideal magnetic properties, acting as experimental models for Ising and Heisenberg spin chains, furthering our understanding of magnetic exchange in highly-correlated systems. 6 One of the strategies for building these low-dimensional (1-D) magnetic materials is to incorporate small one- or three-atom linkers between magnetic centers to facilitate exchange along the chains or networks.…”

“…The anisotropy inherent in low-dimensional (1-D) solid-state compounds leads to a variety of interesting magnetic, electronic, and optical properties, with applications including single-chain magnets for data storage, multiferroics for bifunctional materials, , and nonlinear optical materials for second harmonic generation. , Certain types of 1-D materials containing isolated chains exhibit nearly ideal magnetic properties, acting as experimental models for Ising and Heisenberg spin chains, furthering our understanding of magnetic exchange in highly correlated systems . One of the strategies for building these 1-D magnetic materials is to incorporate small one- or three-atom linkers between magnetic centers to facilitate exchange along the chains or networks. , Many of these compounds are known, but very few have been created using iron centers, and most rely on relatively large bridging ligands to separate the magnetically coupled components within the structure.…”

Investigation on the optical, spectral, electrical, mechanical, and laser damage threshold studies of bis (4-acetylanilinium) tetrachloridozincate (B4ATCZ) crystal

“…The second stage of weight loss of 12.36% in between the temperature of 453°C to 645°C involves the evolution of CO and part of ZnCl 2 . Finally, the third stage of mass changes of 6.35% in the temperature range of 645°C to 987°C leads to the liberation of residual carbons and zinc compounds in the B4ATCZ sample [39][40][41]. From the DSC trace, it is ascertained that the B4ATCZ compound evidences a constant heat-absorbing endothermic transition up to 240°C implying the melting point (solid-liquid phase transitions) of the grown crystal.…”

Studies on L-cystine hydrobromide single crystals for nonlinear optical applications

“…Recently, a variety of semiorganic crystals for NLO applications have been developed [2][3][4][5]; among them, the amino acids are found to have a definite edge over other materials due to the following special features: (i) the absence of strongly conjugated bonds and (ii) the zwitterionic nature of the molecules, which favours a wide transparency window in the visible region and physicochemical stability of the materials. In view of this, a series of amino acids used as semi-organic materials, such as L-arginine phosphate [6], L-histidine hydrobromide [7], L-cystine hydrochloride [8], L-valine hydrochloride [9], betaalanine zinc chloride [10] and L-phenylalanine L-phenylalaninium perchlorate [11] as potential NLO crystals has been reported.…”
