One-dimensional heterobimetallic cyanide-bridged Fe(III)–Mn(II) complex: Synthesis, crystal structure, and magnetic properties

详细

A new cyanide-bridged heterobimetallic Fe(III)–Mn(II) complex {[MnL][FebpdBrb]} [FebpdBrb]_n· 2nH₂O has been synthesized by using pyridinecarboxamide trans-dicyanideiron as the building block. The X-ray diffraction analysis has revealed the one-dimensional infinite structure of the complex consisting of the alternating [Mn(L)]²⁺ and [Fe(bpdBrb)(CN)₂]^– units forming a cyanide-bridged cationic polymeric chain, with [Fe(bpdBrb)(CN)₂]^– as the free anions. The antiferromagnetic coupling between the neighboring Fe(III) and Mn(II) ions through the bridging cyanide group has been revealed. The magnetic coupling constant has been determined as of J =–3.17 cm^–1.
