Abstract:The search for ferromagnetic organic-based compounds has been a particular challenge to both chemists and physicists over the past few decades. The synthesis of the Ni 2 A, where A is an organic acceptor; TCNE, DDQ or TCNQ [Nature 445, 291], was reported to be a great advancement with claims that the ferromagnetism persisted to well above room temperature. There were, however some substantial flaws in the methodology associated with the synthesis and physical characterisation. Our work solely studies the Ni 2… Show more
