Layered ferromagnets hosting tetraalkylammonium-substituted nitronyl nitroxide free radicals

Abstract

This paper describes the structural, magnetic and EPR properties of hybrid organic/inorganic magnets formed by anionic heterometallic oxalato-based layers and cationic nitronyl nitroxide (NN) free radicals of the tetraalkylammonium type. A series of compounds of formula nBu3NCH2NN[MCr(ox)3] (M = Mn (1), Ni (2), Zn (3)) has been prepared and studied by AC and DC magnetic susceptibility measurements and EPR spectroscopy. Magnetic order with critical temperatures ranging from 5 K to 15 K was confirmed. EPR measurements show that the organic spin carriers interact significantly with the inorganic network.
