A novel class of single-chain magnets (SCMs), catena-[FeII(ClO4)2{FeIII(bpca)2}]ClO4 and its derivative, were synthesized using the spin-carrier components possessing hard-axis anisotropy (or easy-plane anisotropy, D > 0). The easy-axis-type anisotropy of whole molecules of these compounds, which is essential for the formation of SCMs, arises from the twisted arrangement of easy-planes of Fe(II) along the chain axis. Alternating high-spin Fe(II) and low-spin Fe(III) chain complexes behave as an SCM with a typical frequency-dependent ac susceptibility which obeys Arrhenius law. Below 7 K, catena-[FeII(ClO4)2{FeIII(bpca)2}]ClO4 showed a short-range spin-ordering even in zero external field in a time range of Mössbauer spectroscopy as well as the muon-spin-relaxation (μSR) spectroscopy. Since the easy-axis-type magnetic anisotropy originated from the structural motif of the twisting arrangement of Fe(II) ions, the overall magnetic property was very sensitive to the small structural changes arising from adsorption/desorption of the crystal solvents, and catena-[FeII(ClO4)2{FeIII(bpca)2}]ClO4 showed a reversible change in magnetism that has been referred to as "a magnetic sponge". In its derivative, controls of the molecular structure, the arrangement of chains in the crystal, and magnetic properties both in dc and ac susceptibility have been achieved by the introduction of methyl group on a bpca- ligand, which bridges and mediates the magnetic interaction of the adjoining Fe(II)/Fe(III) ions.

The magnetic interaction between the crystallites of weak ferromagnetic α-Fe2O3 has been studied by combining SR based X-ray diffraction with an externally applied magnetic field. The measurements were performed with several polycrystalline α-Fe2O3 [1,2] samples (dry or in suspensions) placed in a half-filled cylindrical container in ambient conditions. The axis of the cylindrical container was oriented vertically parallel to the applied dc magnetic field. The polycrystalline sample had a free surface, so the α-Fe2O3 crystallites were free to move. The full Debye-Scherrer diffraction rings were measured with a 2D pixel detector at the beamline ID-15B at ESRF. In the absence of the magnetic field the intensity distribution over azimuthal angle was a uniform, i.e. there was no texture. The applied maximal field, B=0.9T was too small to change the magnetic ordering of α-Fe2O3 but it was sufficiently strong to reorient large amount of crystallites in order to minimize the angle between their ferromagnetic moment direction and the external field. Pronounced texture patterns with clear maxima in the angular distribution of the intensity across each Debye-Scherrer ring were observed. The observed textured intensity distribution was analyzed quantitatively by using a model based on the magnetic anisotropy observed in single crystals of α-Fe2O3. The analysis yielded two important parameters: (i) the width of the angular distribution of the ferromagnetic moments directions around the external field direction, and (ii) the relative quantity of the crystallites that did reorient in the external field. The α-Fe2O3 samples were also characterized with TEM technique. The analysis of X-ray and TEM studies provide new conclusions about the magnetic interaction between the α-Fe2O3 crystallites [3]. The proposed measurement technique can be applied to study other weak ferromagnetic materials.

The reaction of a melt of unsubstituted imidazole with praseodymium metal yields bright green crystals of 3D-[Pr(Im)3(ImH)]@ImH. Imidazolate ligands coordinate η1 via both N atoms their 1,3 positioning within the heterocycle being responsible for the connection of praseodymium atoms. A 3-dimensional network is formed with imidazole molecules from the melt intercalated in the crystal structure. The imidazole molecules can be released and temperature dependent reversibly be exchanged with gas molecules including argon. Thus the solvent free high temperature synthesis of rare earth elements with amine melts can also be utilized for “crystal engineering” and the synthesis of compounds with material science aspects. Furthermore 3D-[Pr(Im)3(ImH)]@ImH is the first unsubstituted imidazolate of the lanthanides.
