Chiral Cyanide-Bridged Mn^IIMn^III Ferrimagnets, [Mn^II(HL)(H₂O)][Mn^III(CN)₆]·2H₂O (L = <i>S</i>- or <i>R</i>-1,2-diaminopropane):  Syntheses, Structures, and Magnetic Behaviors

Abstract

Chirality plays a key role for exhibiting specific physical properties in functional materials. Molecule-based magnets can strategically introduce the chirality in their frameworks as a molecular property of co-ligand, and magnetic frameworks providing local magnetic anisotropy and noncentrosymmetric structure are expected to form a genuine chiral magnetic structure.
