Soma–Iwamoto-type SCO complex Fe(quinazoline)2[Au(CN)2]2 using the quinazoline-type ligand†
Abstract
The Hofmann-type complex and Soma–Iwamoto-type complex are cyano-bridged coordination polymers and both have been widely researched. Now we have synthesized a novel Soma–Iwamoto-type complex, namely Fe(quinazoline)2[Au(CN)2]2. This complex shows the Soma–Iwamoto-type bilayer with Au–Au interactions and a SCO phenomenon with a gradual change of magnetic susceptibility. Fe(H2O)2(quinazoline)2[Au(CN)2]2 has also been synthesized and crystallized, and has been found to be a mononuclear complex with hydrogen-bonding network interactions.
