Structure-property trends in cyanido-bridged tetranuclear FeIII/NiII single-molecule magnets

Résumé

Treatment of [NEt4][(Tp⁄Me)FeIII(CN)3].H2O with nickel(II) trifluoromethanesulfonate affords {[(Tp⁄Me)- FeIII(CN)3]2[NiII(DMF)4]2[OTf]2}.2DMF (1) while {[(Tp⁄Me)FeIII(CN)3]2[NiII(bpy)2]2[ClO4]2}.3MeCN=2H2- O.MeOH (2) is obtained from Ni(ClO4)2.6H2O and 2,20-bipyridine mixtures. In the frame of an isotropic Heisenberg model, the experimental vT versus T data were modeled well with the following best set of parameters: J/kB = +9.0(4) and +8.5(4) K and gav = 2.4(1) and 2.5(1) for 1 and 2, respectively; the first excited state (S = 2) for 1 and 2 are ca. 18 and 16.8 K above the ST = 3 ground state. Analysis of the ac susceptibility suggests that 1 exhibits fast quantum tunneling of the magnetization above ca. 1.8 K while 2 displays slow relaxation in the range seen for many SMMs; at Hdc = 2.2 kOe an SMM energy barrier of Deff = 15.7 K is estimated for 2. Upon prolonged standing in air, 1 is readily transformed into a new system that exhibits a respectable energy barrier (Deff = 20.4 K) suggesting that the desolvation is able to dramatically alter the dynamics and the quantum properties of the square-shaped {FeIII2(l-CN)4NiII 2}SMM.
