The Observation of Superparamagnetic Behavior in Molecular Nanowires

Abstract

Using the anionic precursor [(Tp)Fe(CN)3]-, a new one-dimensional Ising cyanide-bridged chain, [(Tp)2FeIII2(CN)6Cu(CH3OH)·2CH3OH]n, has been prepared. The crystal structure and magnetic studies demonstrate that it is a single-chain magnet and the blocking temperature is ca. 6 K.
