Very Anisotropic 2D Molecular Magnetic Materials Based on Pentagonal Bipyramidal Heptacyanidorhenate(IV).

ABSTRACT: The first neutral 2D heterometallic assemblies based on orbitally degenerate heptacyanidorhenate(IV) were prepared and structurally characterized. An analysis of the magnetic data for the polycrystalline samples of Ph4P[{Mn(acacen)}2Re(CN)7]·Solv (1) and PPN[{Mn(acacen)}2Re(CN)7]·Solv (2) have shown that both materials display slow magnetic relaxation at temperatures below 10 and 21 K for 1 and 2, respectively. Despite the presence of the same molecular magnetic modules that make up the anionic layers, the studied 2D networks differ significantly in magnetic anisotropy, having a small coercive field (0.115 T) for 1 and a large one (~2.5 T) for 2 at 2 K. In addition, for both polymers a M(H) value does not saturate at the maximum available field of 7 T, and the material 2 is a metamagnet. This intriguing difference originates from the cooperative anisotropic spin interaction in ReIV-CN-MnIII pairs and the zero field splitting (ZFS) effect of MnIII ions with a noncollinear alignment of the local magnetic axes in crystals of the compounds.
