Abstract
Reaction of MnTTFsalphenOAc TTFsalphen2−=22′245bismethylthio13dithiol2ylidene13benzodithiole56diylbisnitrilomethylidynebisphenolatedianion and the cyanometalate building blocks nBu4NTpFeCN3 Tp−=Trispyrazolylhydroborate or nBu4NRusalenCN2 salen2−=NN′ethylenebissalicylideneiminedianion resulted in the formation of two redoxactive complexes the dinuclear heterometallic complex TpFeCN3MnTTFsalphen·CH3OH 1 and the one dimensional complex RusalenCN2MnTTFsalphen n 2 Both complexes were characterized by Xray crystallography and solid state electrochemistry in addition to static and dynamic magnetic measurements Antiferromagnetic couplings are found to be operative between metal ion centers bridged by cyanide in both complexes Complex 1 exhibited fieldinduced SMM behavior with an energy barrier of 138 K The introduction of the redoxactive TTF unit into cyanidebridged complexes with interesting magnetic properties renders them promising candidates for the construction of new hybrid inorganicorganic materials
