Mixed valency and magnetism in cyanometallates and Prussian blue analogues

“…Leaving the PBA and the three-dimensional network area, we would like finally to quote one of our recent results in the field of molecular photomagnetic mixed valency octacyanometalate derivatives (see Herrera et al 2004) figure 8, the sample is irradiated at low temperature. The measurements are then done without continuous irradiation.…”

Switching Magnetic Properties by a Mechanical Motion

“…Multi-metallic complexes such as Prussian-blue analogues have also attracted a wide interest as switchable systems due to the ability to switch the exchange interaction between different spin carriers connected by a bridging cyanide ligand. Light has been a choice stimulus for photo-induced electron transfer in molecular polymetallic architectures [28][29][30], crystals [31], or valence tautomerism complexes [32,33]. A noticeable magnetic property to switch is the Single Molecule Magnet (SMM) behavior.…”

“…The large majority of these molecular compounds are based on paramagnetic 3d metal ions, the second and third row transition metal ions have been envisaged only recently for the construction of magnetic supramolecular compounds [9]. These ions appear however very promising in molecular magnetism yielding magnets with fairly high ordering temperatures [10], new SMM's [11] and efficient systems with light triggered magnetization changes [12]. The 4d and 5d ions are characterized by spatially more extended valence orbitals, the extension following the trend 3d < 4d < 5d.…”
