Cyano-bridged terbium(iii)–chromium(iii) bimetallic quasi-one-dimensional assembly exhibiting long-range magnetic ordering

Abstract

A new cyano-bridged TbIII–CrIII heterometallic complex [Tb(H2O)2(DMF)4{Cr(CN)6}]·H2O (DMF = dimethylformamide) (1), assembled from paramagnetic hexacyanochromium(III) [Cr(CN)6]3− building block and highly anisotropic terbium(III) ion has been prepared and structurally and magnetically characterized. Complex 1 shows one-dimensional (1D) zig-zag chain-like structural motif which is further extended into three-dimensional network through hydrogen-bonding interactions. The long-range magnetic ordering observed in complex 1, which is possibly due to interchain magnetic dipolar interactions, illuminates that this complex is a molecule-based magnet with critical temperature of about 5 K. This higher critical temperature among those of LnIII–CrIII heterometallic complexes exhibiting long-range magnetic ordering is probably due to the introduction of highly anisotropic terbium(III) ion.
