Summary: | Utilizing the building block [(TpR)FeIII(CN)3]− featuring different steric hindrance, a trinuclear [NiII(4-Clbpy)2][(pzTp)FeIII(CN)3]2·4H2O (1) (pzTp = tetrakis(pyrazolyl)borate; 4‑Clbpy = 4‑chlorine‑2,2′‑dibipyridine) and a tetranuclear {[NiII(4-Clbpy)2][(Tp*)FeIII(CN)3]}2·4CH3OH·2H2O (2) (Tp* = hydrotris(3,5‑dimethylpyrazolyl)borate) were successfully synthesized. Magnetic studies revealed that both compound 1 and 2 exhibited intramolecular ferromagnetic interaction. Dynamic susceptibility study indicated that compound 2 exhibited slow magnetic relaxation. The relaxation energy barrier was Δ/kB = 62.31 K with the pre-exponential factor of τ0 = 2.87 × 10−10 s. In addition, compound 2 can exhibit hysteresis at 1.8 K.
A trinuclear cyanide-bridged FeIII2NiII cluster [NiⅡ(Clbpy)2][(pzTp)FeⅢ(CN)3]2▪4H2O(1) and a tetranuclear cyanide-bridged FeIII2NiII2 cluster {[NiⅡ(Clbpy)2][(Tp*)FeⅢ(CN)3]}▪4CH3OH▪2H2O (2) were synthesized. Magnetic measurements indicated that both compound 1 and 2 exhibited ferromagnetic interaction, but compound 2 behaves as the single-molecule magnet. [Display omitted]
