Microwave-assisted synthesis, structure and properties of a co-crystal compound with 2-ethoxy-6-methyliminomethyl-phenol

Abstract

AbstractA new co-crystal complex [Ni7(emmp)6(CH3O)2(OH)4][Ni(emmp)2]·(ClO4)2 (1, Hemmp is 2-ethoxy-6-methyliminomethyl-phenol) has been synthesised by microwave-assisted method. Complex 1 was characterised by IR spectroscopy, elemental analysis, Raman spectroscopy and X-ray single-crystal diffraction. The complex consists of a heptanuclear cation cluster [Ni7(emmp)6(CH3O)2(OH)4]2+, a mononuclear complex [Ni(emmp)2] and two counteranions. Complex 1 displays the contents of antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic properties.Keywords:: co-crystal compoundcrystal structuremagnetic propertyRaman spectra FundingThis work is financially supported by the National Nature Science Foundation of China (No. 21161006).
