“…By contrast, the Cr–S–Cr angle of compound 2 is 85°, significantly closer to 90° than previous examples. This angle may be better contextualized versus the Cr trihalides, CrX 3 , which have Cr–X–Cr bond angles between 93 and 95° and all display FM behavior. ,, Similarly, an angular deviation of ∼8–10% has been estimated to limit the AFM/FM switch for 180° superexchange pathways in perovskites. , Finally, it is compelling to note that the magnetic properties of 1 versus 2 are primarily altered via structural or steric manipulation and not by changes to the ligand field or electronic differences between BDT and BTT. We hypothesize that this dramatic change in magnetic behavior, which can be thought of as arising from a compression along the chain axis, could result in novel piezomagnetic or magnetostrictive properties under high pressure similar to what has been observed in layered CrCl 3 and CrI 3 . ,, …”
