Description
Since their discovery Prussian Blue Analogs (PBAs) have become a driving force for many fruitful discoveries on the route to control the quantum nanoworld [1]. For example study of CoII-FeIII(CN)6 PBAs resulted in the burst of interest because of its nonmagnetic to magnetic photo-induced transition. Along with the miniaturization tendencies and in connection with Single-Molecule Magnets (SMMs) development, many fascinating discrete molecular materials were discovered i.e. Fe4Co2 light induced single molecule magnet [2] or Fe4Co4 [3a], Fe2Co2 [3b], and FeCo [3c] complexes possessing the metallic core geometry that can be considered as ‘slices’ of PBAs.
We contribute to this unique group of molecules with an unprecedented
[Co(1,10-tdapO2)2]6[Co(1,10-tdapO2)(MeCN)]6[Fe(CN)6]7](BF4)3∙xMeCN (Co12Fe7) cluster, whose metallic core resembles a part of a unit cell of CoII-FeIII(CN)6 PBA (Figure 1). This compound contains recently reported redox active [1,2,5]thiadiazolo[3,4-f][1,10]phenanthroline 1,1-dioxide (1,10-tdapO2) ligand, which makes it a perfect subject for studying the photo-induced energy transfer between metals and ligands within a discrete molecule. Synthesis, structural analysis, and magnetic properties, concluded with foresights for the development of other congeners will be presented.
