The synthesis and characterization of three new tetradentate “bispicen-type” ligands containing a substituted thiophene heterocycle are described [2,5-thienyl substituents = H (7), Ph (8), or 2-thienyl (9)]. Iron(II) bis(thiocyanate) coordination complexes containing 7–9 were prepared, and the electronic and variable-temperature magnetic properties of complexes containing 7 (10) and 9 (12) are described. Complex 10 features a gradual and incomplete spin crossover in the solid state, and 12 remains high-spin over the entire temperature range. Complex 11 is extremely unstable and rearranges to another iron(II) complex (13), which was structurally characterized. The temperature-dependent magnetic properties of 13 are described as a one-dimensional ferromagnetic chain, with interchain antiferromagnetic interactions and (or) zero-field splitting dominant at low temperatures. The magnetic analysis is corroborated by the molecular packing and density functional theory calculations, which suggest intermolecular interactions between coordinated thiocyanate ligands bearing a significant spin density.

Thiocyanatonickel(II) compounds with composition {(AsPh4)2[Ni(NCS)4]} 1, {(Cat)[Ni(NCS)4]} 2, {(AsPh4)4 [Ni2(NCS)8]} 3, {(Cat)2[Ni2(NCS)8]·2CH3NO2} 4, and {(Et4N)4[Ni(NCS)6]} 5 (Cat2+ = (p-xylylenebis(triphenyphosphonium))2+) were prepared. The crystal structures of compounds 1, 3, and 4 were determined. Compound 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic C2/c space group with a = 22.761(2) Å, b = 15.055(1) Å, c = 15.054(1) Å, β = 108.915(1)°, V = 4879.9(6) Å3, and Z = 4. Compound 3 crystallizes in the triclinic P–1 space group with a = 11.2183(6) Å, b = 14.2551(8) Å, c = 16.629(1) Å, α = 79.326(1)°, β = 73.605(1)°, γ = 75.496(1)°, V = 2451.0(2) Å3, Z = 2. Compound 4 crystallizes in the monoclinic P21/n space group with a = 13.1148(9) Å, b = 27.128(2) Å, c = 14.882(1) Å, β = 114.056(2)°, V = 4834.8(6) Å3, Z = 4. The magnetic properties of compounds 1-4 were studied over the 2–300 K temperature range. Compounds 1 and 2 with monometallic [Ni(NCS)4]2– complex units have similar magnetic properties, in agreement with nickel(II) ions in pseudo-tetrahedral environments. Compounds 3 and 4 with bimetallic [Ni2(NCS)8]4– complex units exhibit magnetic properties, which are indicative of Ni(II)–Ni(II) ferromagnetic interactions with zero-field splitting effects caused by the pseudo-square-pyramidal or pseudo-trigonal-bipyramidal coordination environments of the nickel(II) ion in compounds 3 and 4, respectively. The structures and magnetic results for all compounds are correlated with NIR–UV–vis absorption spectra.Key words: nickel(II) thiocyanato complexes, crystal structures, paramagnetism, molecular magnetism, exchange coupling, absorption spectroscopy.

{[Cu4(µ3-OH)2(SIP)2(imz)2]·(H2O)2}n (1) and {[Zn3(µ2-OH2)2(SIP)2(phen)3(H2O)3]·(H2O)5}n (2) were obtained under hydrothermal conditions (SIP = 5-sulfoisophthalate, imz = imidazole, and phen = 1,10-phenanthroline). Compound 1 features a novel 3D network based on tetranuclear [Cu4(µ3-OH)2] secondary building unit; its topological structure is similar to that of rutile. Compound 2 is a 1D zigzag chain containing dinuclear [Zn2(µ2-OH2)2(phen)2] and mononuclear [Zn(phen)(H2O)] units. Variable-temperature magnetic studies reveal the existence of dominant ferromagnetic interactions within the tetranuclear copper(ii) cluster in compound 1. Further magnetic measurements indicate that compound 1 has the zero-field splitting parameters D = –0.29 cm–1 and E = 0.00052 cm–1, and g = 2.11 based on ST = 2. Compound 2 exhibits a blue fluorescence emission band at 458 nm on excitation at 391 nm, with a lifetime of 5.78 ns.

AbstractIn this paper, we have studied the structural, electronic, and magnetic properties of the cubic perovskite system Mn4N using the first principles calculations based on density functional theory (DFT) with the generalized gradient approximation (GGA). The obtained data from DFT calculations are used as input data in Monte Carlo simulation with a mixed spin-5/2 and 1 Ising model to calculate the magnetic properties of this compound, such as the total, partial thermal magnetization, and the critical temperatures (TC). The obtained results show that Mn4N has a ferrimagnetic structure with two different sites of Mn in the lattice and presents a metallic behavior. The obtained TC is in good agreement with experimental results.

AbstractThe electronic structure and magnetic properties of Mn doped zinc blende cadmium sulfide Cd1-xMnxS (x = 6.25 %) have been studied using spin-polarized density functional theory within the framework of Generalized Gradient Approximation (GGA), its further corrections including Hubbard U interactions (GGA + U) and a model for exchange and correlation potential Tran Blaha modified Becke-Johnson (TB-mBJ). Ferromagnetic interactions have been observed between Mn atoms via S atom due to strong p-d hybridization. The magnetic moments on Mn and its neighboring atoms have also been studied in detail using different charge analysis techniques. It has been observed that p-d hybridization reduced the value of local magnetic moment of Mn in comparison to its free space charge value and produced small local magnetic moments on the nonmagnetic S and Cd host sites. The magnetocrystalline anisotropy in [1 0 0] and [1 1 1] directions as well as exchange splitting parameters Noα and Noβ have been analyzed to confirm that ferromagnetism exists. We conclude that the ferromagnetic phase in Mn-doped CdS is not stable in “near” configuration but it is stable for “far” configuration. Mn doped CdS is a p-type semiconductor and the d-states at the top of the valence band edge give a very useful material for photoluminescence and magneto-optical devices.
