“…This compound showed frequency-dependence of the in-phase (χ′) and out-of-phase (χ″) magnetic susceptibilities, with τ 0 = 1.4 × 10 –7 s and an effective energy barrier of 10.9 cm –1 under H dc = 2200 Oe . Other types of cyanido-based metalloligands, such as [{(B(pz) 4 }Fe III (CN) 3 ] − , [{HB(pz) 3 }Fe(CN) 3 ] − , or [{ i -BuB(pz) 3 }Fe(CN) 3 ] − entities [ i -BuB(pz) 3 – = 2-methylpropyltris(pyrazolyl)borate], afforded square-like molecules in their combination with Ni II ions whose coordination sphere is partially blocked with didentate ligands, such as 2,2′-dipyridyl amine (dpa), 4-chlorine-2,2′-bipyridine (4-Clbpy), 4,4′-dichloro-2,2′-bipyridine (4,4′-Cl 2 bpy), or π-conjugated sulfur-rich chelating ligands like 4,5-[10,40]dithiino[20,30-b]quinoxaline-2-bis(2-pyridyl)methylene-1,3-dithiole and 4,5-bis(methylthio)-2-bis(2-pyridyl)methylene-1,3-dithiole ligands . The obtained Fe III and Ni II -containing ferromagnetic squares exhibited SMM properties.…”
