Two polymeric malonato-bridged manganese(II) complexes of formula [Mn(mal)(H(2)O)(2)](n)() (1) and [Mn(2)(mal)(2)(4,4'-bipy)(H(2)O)(2)](n)() (2) have been synthesized and characterized (mal = malonate dianion; 4,4'-bipy = 4,4'-bipyridine). The crystal structure of complex 1 was already known. Complex 2 crystallizes in monoclinic space group P2(1)/n, Z = 2, with unit cell parameters of a = 7.2974(10) A, b = 18.7715(10) A, c = 7.514(3) A, and beta = 91.743(12) degrees. The structure determination reveals that the complex [Mn(2)(mal)(2)(4,4'-bipy)(H(2)O)(2)](n)() (2) is a 3D network being composed of Mn-malonate sheets which are pillared by bidentate 4,4'-bipy spacer forming small voids. The Mn-Mn distances through Mn-mu-(O3-C8-O4)-Mn, Mn-mu(O1-C6-O2)-Mn, and Mn-mu-4,4'-bipy-Mn bridges are 5.561, 5.410, and 11.723 A, respectively. The magnetic behaviors of complexes 1 and 2 in the temperature range 300-2 K are very close, corresponding to a weak antiferromagnetic coupling. The magnetic pathways of complex 1 are through two Mn-O-C-O-Mn with anti-anti conformation and two Mn-O-C-O-Mn with syn-anti conformations and in complex 2 through all Mn-O-C-O-Mn with syn-anti conformations. Both syn-anti and anti-anti conformations create weak antiferromagnetic coupling, and the susceptibility data are fitted by the expansion series of Lines and the Curély formula for an S = 5/2 antiferromagnetic quadratic layer, based on the exchange Hamiltonian H = -Sigma(nn)()JS(i)()S(j)(). The best fit is given by the superexchange parameters J = -0.32 cm(-)(1) and g = 2.00 for complex 1 and J = -0.14 cm(-)(1), J(inter) = -0.031 cm(-)(1), and g = 2.00 for complex 2. Finally, in both the complexes there is a magnetic pathway Mn-O-C-C-C-O-Mn, and this pathway through the three carbon atoms of the malonato-bridging ligand could be considered negligible.

Article Synopsis
  • Interstitial quasi-atomic electrons (IQEs) significantly influence the magnetism of crystalline electrides, with their own magnetic moments affected by nearby cations.
  • Weak spin-orbit coupling and limited interactions prevent these systems from achieving hard magnetism, presenting a challenge for stronger magnetic properties.
  • However, certain 2D electrides, like [ReC]·2e, exhibit permanent magnetism by creating a ferrimagnetic state and demonstrate high coercivity due to the interaction between Re-spin and IQE-spin lattices.

The orbital Hall effect originating from light materials with weak spin-orbit coupling, has attracted considerable interest in spintronic applications. Recent studies demonstrate that orbital currents can be generated from charge currents through the orbital Hall effect in ferromagnetic materials. However, the generation of orbital currents in antiferromagnets has so far been elusive.

Antiferromagnetic materials have several unique properties, such as a vanishingly small net magnetization, which generates weak dipolar fields and makes them robust against perturbation from external magnetic fields and rapid magnetization dynamics, as dictated by the geometric mean of their exchange and anisotropy energies. However, experimental and theoretical techniques to detect and manipulate the antiferromagnetic order in a fully electrical manner must be developed to enable advanced spintronic devices with antiferromagnets as their active spin-dependent elements. Among the various antiferromagnetic materials, conducting antiferromagnets offer high electrical and thermal conductivities and strong electron-spin-phonon interactions.

Two new dimorphic spin-1/2 quantum magnets, α- and β-CuO(VO)Cl, were synthesized via a chemical vapor transport method that emulates mineral formation in volcanic fumaroles. α-CuO(VO)Cl () is a pure vanadate analogue of the coparsite mineral characterized by [OCu] 1 single rods, whereas β-CuO(VO)Cl () adopts a new structure type with the [OCu] 2 layered topology. The thermal expansions of both and studied by high-temperature single-crystal X-ray diffraction are reported.
