Two tetranuclear cyanide‐bridged FeIII2NiII2 compounds [Ni2(L1)4Fe2(μ‐CN)4(CN)2(L2)2]·2ClO4·CH3OH·4H2O (1) and [Ni2(L1)4Fe2(μ‐CN)4(CN)2(L3)2]·2ClO4 (2) [L1 = 4,4′‐dichloro‐2,2′‐bipyridine; L2 = hydrotris(pyrazolyl)borate; L3 = tetrakis(pyrazolyl)borate] were synthesized. Magnetic measurements indicated that both two compounds showed single‐molecule magnet (SMM) behaviors with the relaxation energy barrier of Δ/kB = 68.9(8) K for 1 and 12.6(1) K for 2. Magneto‐structural analysis indicated that the intermolecular interactions played an important part in the slow magnetic relaxation behaviors.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
