Different magnetic responses observed in Co, Co and Co-based MOFs

Four magnetic MOFs with anisotropic Co(II) ions, {[Co5(H2O)2(μ3-OH)2(atz)2(stp)2]·1.5H2O}n (1), {[Co5(H2O)2(μ3-OH)2(trz)2(stp)2]·1.3H2O}n (2), {[Co5(H2O)6(μ3-OH)2(trz)2(stp)2]·2.5CH3OH}n (3) and {[Co3(H2O)4(Hdatrz)2(stp)2]·3H2O}n (4) (stp(3-) = 2-sulfoterephthalate, trz(-) = 1,2,4-triazolate, atz(-) = 3-amino-1,2,4-triazolate and Hdatrz = 3,5-diamino-1,2,4-triazole) were solvothermally isolated by varying the substituent groups appended on the N-heterocyclic triazole and structurally and magnetically characterized. Structural analyses indicate that the former two complexes are crystallographically isostructural, exhibiting pillared-layer frameworks with mixed triazolyl and carboxylate extended Co + Co layers supported by rigid stp(3-) connectors. Complex 3 is built from butterfly-shaped Co cluster-based layers, which are interconnected with single cobalt(ii) octahedra by ditopic stp(3-) bridges. By contrast, complex 4 consists of linear {Co3(μ-N1,N4-Hdatrz)2} subunits, which are extended by 3-connected stp(3-) linkers into a stable 3D framework. Magnetically, 1 exhibits ferromagnetic ordering below 2.7 K due to the well-organized alignment of the non-compensated resultant moment from octahedra and tetrahedral cobalt(ii) carriers, while 3 is in a non-zero paramagnetic state above 2.0 K resulting from the coexistence of intermetallic ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic interactions. The magnetic competition between weak inter-subunit antiferromagnetic interactions and the external magnetic field makes 4 behave as a field-induced metamagnet with a critical field of 27.5 kOe. These interesting magnetostructural results suggest that the anisotropy of the moment carrier and the interlayer/intersubunit separations significantly dominate the magnetic responses in extended MOFs, providing an informative platform for the further development of interesting magnetic materials, both of academic and industrial interest.

Synthesis, characterization, and mechanism analysis of S = 2 quasi-one-dimensional ferromagnetic semiconductor Pb2Mn(VO4)2(OH)

A brackebuschite-type compound Pb2Mn(VO4)2(OH) was synthesized by a hydrothermal method. Single crystal X-ray diffraction reveals that Pb2Mn(VO4)2(OH) crystallizes in the space group P21/m, with the structure built of single [010] chains of edge-shared MnO6 octahedra bridged by VO4-PbO6 groups along a and c axes, as a result forming a very large inter-chain distance of about 7.67 Å. The magnetic and optical measurements indicate that Pb2Mn(VO4)2(OH) is an S = 2 quasi-one-dimensional ferromagnetic semiconductor, with a very small specific value of intra- and inter-chain exchange coupling Jintra/Jinter = 10(-3), and a band gap of 1.72 eV. The electronic structure calculations indicate that a 90° Mn-O-Mn dpσ-dpσ correlation superexchange dominates the intra-chain ferromagnetic coupling in Pb2Mn(VO4)2(OH).

X-ray diffraction analysis reveals defective double-cubane tetrameric entities in which the Ni(II) atoms are linked by μ1,1-R-phenylcyanamido bridges and two kinds of O-bridges. The molar magnetic susceptibility measurements of 1-3 in the 2-300 K range indicate bulk ferromagnetic coupling.
