Ferromagnetic Coupling through Spin Polarization in a Dinuclear Copper(II) Metallacyclophane

Abstract

First organic radicals, now metal complexes: A successful extension to metal complexes of a well-known organic radical approach to ferromagnetism is exemplified by the triplet ground-state molecule containing two Cu(II) centers connected by a double m-phenylenediamide skeleton of the cyclophane type shown in the scheme.
