Magnetoelectric effect generated through electron transfer from organic radical to metal ion.

ABSTRACT: Magnetoelectric (ME) materials induced by electron transfer are extremely rare. Electron transfer in these materials invariably occurs between the metal ions. In contrast, ME properties induced by electron transfer from an organic radical to a metal ion have never been observed. Here, we report the ME coupling effect in a mononuclear molecule-based compound [(CH₃)₃NCH₂CH₂Br][Fe(Cl₂An)₂(H₂O)₂] (1) [Cl₂An = chloranilate, (CH₃)₃NCH₂CH₂Br⁺ = (2-bromoethyl)trimethylammonium]. Investigation of the mechanism revealed that the ME coupling effect is realized through electron transfer from the Cl₂An to the Fe ion. Measurement of t
