RESUMO
By using the iridium(IV) complex (NBu4)2[IrBr6] (1) as a metalloligand towards a Cu(II) metal ion, three novel Ir(IV) one-dimensional (1D) compounds of formula {IrBr5(µ-Br)Cu(Meim)4}n (2), {IrBr5(µ-Br)Cu(Viim)4}n (3) and {IrBr5(µ-Br)Cu(Buim)4}n (4), [Meim = 1-methylimidazole; Viim = 1-vinylimidazole; Buim = 1-butylimidazole] have been prepared and structurally and magnetically characterised. Compounds 2, 3 and 4 crystallise in the triclinic, monoclinic and orthorhombic crystal systems with space groups P1Ì, C2/c and Pccn, respectively. Each Ir(IV) ion in 1-4 is six-coordinate and bonded to six bromide ions in a quasi regular octahedral geometry. In compounds 2-4, the CuII ion shows an axially elongated octahedron with four N atoms, from four monodentate imidazole derivative ligands, that form the equatorial plane and two bromide ions that occupy the axial positions. Cu(II) and Ir(IV) ions are linked through bridging bromide anions generating Ir(IV)-Cu(II) chains [with intrachain Cu(II)â¯Ir(IV) distances covering the range of ca. 5.10-5.42 Å]. In the crystal lattice of 2 and 3 are observed significant intermolecular Ir-Brâ¯Br-Ir contacts and πâ¯Br interactions, which organize arrangements that contribute to stabilizing the crystal structure of these Ir(IV)-based compounds. DC magnetic susceptibility measurements reveal that 1 displays magnetic behaviour typical of noninteracting mononuclear centres with S = 1/2. Besides, antiferromagnetic behaviour (2 and 3) and ferromagnetic (4) exchange coupling occur between the Cu(II) and Ir(IV) metal ions in the one-dimensional bromo-bridged compounds 2-4. Moreover, the study of the AC magnetic susceptibility shows a field-induced slow relaxation of the magnetisation for 1, indicating the presence of the single-ion magnet (SIM) phenomenon for the magnetically isolated hexabromoiridate(IV) complex.
RESUMO
The coexistence of field-induced blockage of the magnetization and significant magnetocaloric effects in the low-temperature region occurs in a mononuclear holmium(III) diethylenetriamine-N,N,N',Nâ³,Nâ³-pentaacetate complex, whose gadolinium(III) analogue is a commercial MRI contrast agent. Both properties make it a suitable candidate for cryogenic magnetic refrigeration, thus enlarging the variety of applications of this simple class of multifunctional molecular nanomagnets.

The (NH4)2[ReF6] (1) salt was studied by X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, theoretical calculations, and magnetic measurements. 1 crystallizes in the trigonal space group P3Ìm1 (Re-F = 1.958(5) Å). In the Raman spectrum of 1, splitting of the observed peaks was observed and correlated to the valence frequencies of vibration of the [ReF6]2- anion. The study of the magnetic properties of 1, through DC and AC magnetic susceptibility measurements, reveals the coexistence of metamagnetism and slow relaxation of magnetization at low temperature, which is unusual in the molecular systems based on the paramagnetic 5d metal ions reported so far.
RESUMO
The iridium(iv) complex (NBu4)2[IrCl6] (1) has been synthetised, characterised and used as a precursor to prepare the new chloro-bridged heterobimetallic IrIV-CuII chain of formula {IrCl5(µ-Cl)Cu(viim)4}n (2) [viim = 1-vinylimidazole]. The crystal structure and magnetic properties of 1 and 2 have been investigated. Both compounds crystallise in the monoclinic system with space group C2/c. Each IrIV ion in both 1 and 2 is six-coordinate and bonded to six chloride ions in a regular octahedral geometry. In compound 2, the CuII ion exhibits an axially elongated octahedron with four N atoms, from four monodentate viim ligands, that form the equatorial plane, and two chloride ions that occupy the axial positions. The way in which the anionic [IrCl6]2- units are arranged in the crystal packing of 1, well separated from each other by means of the bulky NBu4+ cations, avoids significant intermolecular Ir-ClCl-Ir interactions. The crystal lattice of 2 shows adjacent IrIV-CuII chains that are connected through ππ stacking interactions, and are organized adopting perpendicular arrangements. The study of the magnetic properties of 1 and 2 through dc magnetic susceptibility measurements reveals that 1 shows magnetic behaviour typical of noninteracting mononuclear centres with S = 1/2, whereas 2 exhibits ferromagnetic exchange coupling between the CuII and IrIV metal ions linked through chloride ligands. In addition, ac magnetic susceptibility measurements show a field-induced slow relaxation of the magnetisation for 1, indicating single-ion magnet (SIM) behaviour for this mononuclear IrIV system.
RESUMO
The compound (NBu4)4[ZnII{ReIVCl4(µ-ox)}3] (1) [NBu4+ = tetra-n-butylammonium cation and ox2- = oxalate dianion] is the first example of an oxalato-bridged ZnII system coordinated to a 5d metal ion that exhibits slow relaxation of magnetisation.
