Recent advances in coordination chemistry of metal complexes based on nitrogen heteroaromatic alcohols. Synthesis, structures and potential applications

Synthesis, structure, and magnetic properties of a family of copper(II) complexes and salts of isoquinoline: (Isoquinoline) Cu(X)2 [X = Cl, Br] and (isoquinolinium)2CuX4(H2O) [X = Cl, Br; n = 0,1]

“…X-ray structure of isoquinolinium tribromide (6) The asymmetric unit of 6 contains two independent tribromide ions, and two independent isoquinolinium rings ( Fig. 15).…”

“…2,3 In particular, several compounds of the general formula LnMXn and (LH)n[MX]n have been of interest as they may provide the same lattice type as is observed in the high Tc superconductors, but with weaker magnetic exchange which allows for detailed study at accessible temperatures and magnetic fields . 4,5,6,7 These systems are particularly important for understanding magnetostructural correlations. Copper(II) is an attractive metal for study because of its d 9 electron configuration and spin of ½, making it a quantum system.…”

Solvent Modulated Assembly of Two Ni(II) Complexes: Syntheses, Structures and Magnetic Properties

“…Additionally, many of these complexes show interesting magnetic properties and even catalytic activity . Other ligands as N‐containing heteroaromatic alcohols have also been used to prepare such dimeric clusters . Schiff base ligands have also been extensively used to prepare tetranuclear Ni complexes .…”

“…[17] Other ligands as N-containing heteroaromatic alcohols have also been used to prepare such dimeric clusters. [18] Schiff base ligands have also been extensively used to prepare tetranuclear Ni complexes. [12,19,20] Generally, Ni 4 complexes present two common geometries: Ni 4 O 4 cubane [12] and Ni 4 O 6 divacant dicubane.…”

A Series of High‐nuclear 3d‐4f (FeIII8LnIII2) Complexes: Syntheses, Structures, and Magnetic Properties

“…In particular, many 3 d ‐4 f complexes behave as single‐molecule magnets (SMMs), which feature slow relaxation of magnetization and magnetic hysteresis under the blocking temperature and can be potential candidates for novel molecular‐magnetic materials, such as information storage devices, quantum computing, and spintronics devices . Since the first SMM‐[Mn 12 ] was reported in 1990s, the initial study is mostly focused on transition‐metal SMMs with a large spin state ( S ) . Actually, a great number of examples indicate that those complexes usually have extremely large S values, matching one side favoring SMMs, but the accompanying magnetic anisotropies ( D ) (another side favoring SMMs) tend to be small, resulting a low energy barrier .…”
