Description
Molecule-based magnets constructed of octacyanidometallates and complexes of 3d/4f metal ions are now attracting a considerable attention as they reveal the wide range of magnetic phenomena including ferromagnetism, metamagnetism, charge transfer or spin transitions, and slow relaxation of magnetization.[1] The implementation of other physical functionalities, including chirality, luminescence, ionic conductivity, microporosity, or photoinduced phase transitions into magnetic octacyanido-based material results in extraordinary cross-effects, such as a magnetization-induced second harmonic generation, or photoswitchable second harmonic light, occurring when chirality is combined with photoinduced magnetic ordering.[2,3]
In this context, we focus on searching for new synthetic pathways towards [M(CN)8]-bridged magnets with additional optical functionalities, which were found to be the most promising in the interactions with magnetic phenomena.[3] Here, we present two novel types of two-dimensional bimetallic cyanido-bridged networks combining magnetic ordering with embedded optical functionalities: (a) chiral {[MnII(R-mpm)2]2[NbIV(CN)8]}·4H2O and {[MnII(S-mpm)2]2[NbIV(CN)8]}·4H2O (mpm = α-methyl-2-pyridine-methanol) ferrimagnets with Tc = 23.5 K revealing natural optical activity due to the chiral crystal structure, and magnetic optical acitivity in the presence of external magnetic field, with the strong enhancement in the magnetically ordered phase,[4] and (b) {[TbIII(Box)2(dmf)2][WV(CN)8]}⋅H2O (Box = bis(oxazoline)) ferrimagnets with Tc = 2.4 K exhibiting visible green to red luminescence switchable by excitation light.[5]
