Redox effects of low-spin Ru(ii/iii) on slow magnetic relaxation of Ru–Mn(iii) 1D cyanide-bridged complexes†
Abstract
A new one-dimensional cyanide-bridged complex [MnIII(salphen)RuII(DMAP)4(CN)2](PF6) (1) and its oxidized derivative [MnIII(salphen)RuIII(DMAP)4(CN)2](PF6)2 (2) have been synthesized and fully characterized. Magnetic measurements showed that 1 shows simple paramagnetism but 2 shows intrachain ferromagnetic interaction with slow magnetic relaxation.
