Long-distance ferromagnetic coupling through spin polarization in a linear heterotrinuclear iron(iii)–copper(ii)–iron(iii) complex derived from 5-ferrocenyl-2-aminotropone

Abstract

A novel hetrotrinuclear complex composed of two ferrocenium-ion moieties and copper complex of 2-aminotropones showed relatively strong intramolecular ferromagnetic coupling in the solid states owing to spin polarization mechanism.
