Heterobimetallic porphyrin-based single-chain magnet constructed from manganese(iii)-porphyrin and trans-dicyanobis(acetylacetonato) ruthenate(iii) containing co-crystallized bulk anions and cations

Abstract

Two cyanide-bridged alternated 1 : 1 Ru(III)/Mn(III) complexes structurally characterized as single-chain containing co-crystallized bulk anions and cations have been successfully assembled from [Mn(TPP)(H(2)O)(2)](+) and [Ru(acac)(2)(CN)(2)](-) blocks. Systematic investigation of their magnetic properties reveals typical single-chain magnet (SCM) behaviors for both of them.
