- ItemMagnetic superexchange interactions: Trinuclear bis(oxamidato) versus bis(oxamato) type complexes(Cambridge : Royal Society of Chemistry, 2015) Abdulmalic, Mohammad A.; Aliabadi, Azar; Petr, Andreas; Krupskaya, Yulia; Kataev, Vladislav; Büchner, Bernd; Zaripov, Ruslan; Vavilova, Evgeniya; Voronkova, Violeta; Salikov, Kev; Hahn, Torsten; Kortus, Jens; Meva, Francois Eya’ane; Schaarschmidt, Dieter; Rüffer, TobiasThe diethyl ester of o-phenylenebis(oxamic acid) (opbaH2Et2) was treated with an excess of RNH2 in MeOH to cause the exclusive formation of the respective o-phenylenebis(N(R)-oxamides) (opboH4R2, R = Me 1, Et 2, nPr 3) in good yields. Treatment of 1–3 with half an equivalent of [Cu2(AcO)4(H2O)2] or one equivalent of [Ni(AcO)2(H2O)4] followed by the addition of four equivalents of [nBu4N]OH resulted in the formation of mononuclear bis(oxamidato) type complexes [nBu4N]2[M(opboR2)] (M = Ni, R = Me 4, Et 5, nPr 6; M = Cu, R = Me 7, Et 8, nPr 9). By addition of two equivalents of [Cu(pmdta)(NO3)2] to MeCN solutions of 7–9, novel trinuclear complexes [Cu3(opboR2)(L)2](NO3)2 (L = pmdta, R = Me 10, Et 11, nPr 12) could be obtained. Compounds 4–12 have been characterized by elemental analysis and NMR/IR spectroscopy. Furthermore, the solid state structures of 4–10 and 12 have been determined by single-crystal X-ray diffraction studies. By controlled cocrystallization, diamagnetically diluted 8 and 9 (1%) in the host lattice of 5 and 6 (99%) (8@5 and 9@6), respectively, in the form of single crystals have been made available, allowing single crystal ESR studies to extract all components of the g-factor and the tensors of onsite CuA and transferred NA hyperfine (HF) interaction. From these studies, the spin density distribution of the [Cu(opboEt2)]2− and [Cu(opbonPr2)]2− complex fragments of 8 and 9, respectively, could be determined. Additionally, as a single crystal ENDOR measurement of 8@5 revealed the individual HF tensors of the N donor atoms to be unequal, individual estimates of the spin densities on each N donor atom were made. The magnetic properties of 10–12 were studied by susceptibility measurements versus temperature to give J values varying from −96 cm−1 (10) over −104 cm−1 (11) to −132 cm−1 (12). These three trinuclear CuII-containing bis(oxamidato) type complexes exhibit J values which are comparable to and slightly larger in magnitude than those of related bis(oxamato) type complexes. In a summarizing discussion involving experimentally obtained ESR results (spin density distribution) of 8 and 9, the geometries of the terminal [Cu(pmdta)]2+ fragments of 12 determined by crystallographic studies, together with accompanying quantum chemical calculations, an approach is derived to explain these phenomena and to conclude if the spin density distribution of mononuclear bis(oxamato)/bis(oxamidato) type complexes could be a measure of the J couplings of corresponding trinuclear complexes.
- ItemMagnetic properties of individual Co2FeGa Heusler nanoparticles studied at room temperature by a highly sensitive co-resonant cantilever sensor(London : Nature Publishing Group, 2017) Körner, Julia; Reiche, Christopher F.; Ghunaim, Rasha; Fuge, Robert; Hampel, Silke; Büchner, Bernd; Mühl, ThomasThe investigation of properties of nanoparticles is an important task to pave the way for progress and new applications in many fields of research like biotechnology, medicine and magnetic storage techniques. The study of nanoparticles with ever decreasing size is a challenge for commonly employed methods and techniques. It requires increasingly complex measurement setups, often low temperatures and a size reduction of the respective sensors to achieve the necessary sensitivity and resolution. Here, we present results on how magnetic properties of individual nanoparticles can be measured at room temperature and with a conventional scanning force microscopy setup combined with a co-resonant cantilever magnetometry approach. We investigate individual Co2FeGa Heusler nanoparticles with diameters of the order of 35 nm encapsulated in carbon nanotubes. We observed, for the first time, magnetic switching of these nanoparticles in an external magnetic field by simple laser deflection detection. Furthermore, we were able to deduce magnetic properties of these nanoparticles which are in good agreement with previous results obtained with large nanoparticle ensembles in other experiments. In order to do this, we expand the analytical description of the frequency shift signal in cantilever magnetometry to a more general formulation, taking unaligned sensor oscillation directions with respect to the magnetic field into account.
