Abstract

By changing template cation but introducing trivalent iron ions in the known niccolite structural metal formate frameworks, three complexes formulated [NH2(CH3)2][FeIIIM II(HCOO)6] (M = Fe for 1, Mn for 2, and Co for 3) were synthesized and magnetically characterized. The variation in the compositions of the complexes leads to three different complexes: mixed-valent complex 1, heterometallic but with the same spin state complex 2, and heterometallic heterospin complex 3. The magnetic behaviors are closely related to the divalent metal ions used. Complex 1 exhibits negative magnetization assigned as Néel N-Type ferrimagnet, with an asymmetric magnetization reversal in the hysteresis loop, and complex 2 is an antiferromagnet with small spin canting (αcanting≈ 0.06° and Tcanting= 35 K), while complex 3 is a ferrimagnet with TN= 32 K.
