Conversion of a porous material based on a MnII–TCNQF4 honeycomb net to a molecular magnet upon desolvation

Abstract

Removal of methanol molecules from the interstices of a metal-organic framework based on a 2-D hexagonal Mn^II-TCNQF₄ net results in stronger magnetic interactions and leads to a glassy magnetically ordered state; the magnetic behavior can be reversibly cycled upon solvation-desolvation of the material.
