Three new heterometallic [CrIII8NiII6] coordination cubes of formulae [CrIII8NiII6L24(H2O)12](NO3)12 (1), [CrIII8NiII6L24(MeCN)7(H2O)5](ClO4)12 (2), and [CrIII8NiII6L24Cl12] (3) (where HL = 1-(4-pyridyl)butane-1,3-dione), were synthesised using the paramagnetic metalloligand [CrIIIL3] and the corresponding NiII salt. The magnetic skeleton of each capsule describes a face-centred cube in which the eight CrIII and six NiII ions occupy the eight vertices and six faces of the structure, respectively. Direct current magnetic susceptibility measurements on (1) reveal weak ferromagnetic interactions between the CrIII and NiII ions, with JCr-Ni = + 0.045 cm−1. EPR spectra are consistent with weak exchange, being dominated by the zero-field splitting of the CrIII ions. Excluding wheel-like structures, examples of large heterometallic clusters containing both CrIII and NiII ions are rather rare, and we demonstrate that the use of metalloligands with predictable bonding modes allows for a modular approach to building families of related polymetallic complexes. Compounds (1)–(3) join the previously published, structurally related family of [MIII8MII6] cubes, where MIII = Cr, Fe and MII = Cu, Co, Mn, Pd.

AbstractThe magnetic susceptibility reveals a discontinuity at Néel temperature and a hysteresis loop with low coercive field was observed below Néel temperature. The magnetic susceptibility of zero field cool and field cool processes coincide at a temperature above the discontinuity, and they split at temperature blow the discontinuity. The magnetic susceptibility splitting is larger at lower external magnetic fields. No more magnetic susceptibility splitting was observed at a magnetic field above 7000 Oe which is consistent with the magnetic anisotropy energy. Our study supports that these magnetic susceptibility characteristics originate from an antiferromagnetic order accompanied by weak ferromagnetism.

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.
