Abstract
Magnetism of layered magnets depends on the inter-layer through-space magnetic interactions (J NNNI). Using guest sorption to address inter-layer pores in bulk-layered magnets is an efficient approach to magnetism control because the guest-delicate inter-layer distance (l trans) is a variable parameter for modulating J NNNI. Herein, we demonstrated magnetic changes induced by the adsorption of CO2, N2, and O2 gases in various isostructural layered magnets with a π-stacked pillared-layer framework, , (M = Co, 1, Fe, 2, Cr, 3; Cp* = η5-C5Me5; 2,3,5,6-F4PhCO2 - = 2,3,5,6-tetrafluorobenzoate; TCNQ = 7,7,8,8-tetracyano-p-quinodimethane). Each compound had almost identical adsorption capability for the three types of gases; only CO2 adsorption was found to have a gated profile. A breathing-like structural modulation involving the extension of l trans occurred after the insertion of gases into the isolated pores between the [Ru2]2-TCNQ ferrimagnetic layers, which is more significant for CO2 than for O2 and N2, due to the CO2-gated transition. While adsorbent 1 with M = Co (S = 0) was an antiferromagnet with T N = 75 K, 1⊃CO2 was a ferrimagnet with T C = 76 K, whereas 1⊃N2 and 1⊃O2 were antiferromagnets with T N = 68 K. The guest-insertion effect was similarly confirmed in 2 and 3, and was characteristically dependent on the type of sandwiched spin in as M = Fe (S = 1/2) and Cr (S = 3/2), respectively. This study reveals that common gases such as CO2, O2, and N2 can serve as crucial triggers for the change in magnetism as a function of variable parameter l trans.
