A class of two dinuclear dysprosium based complexes 1 and 2 were synthesized by employing salicyloylhydrazone derived pentadentate ligand (L). Structural analysis reveals that in complex 1, two DyIII centers are in muffin (Cs) coordination geometry w...
The physical implementation of quantum information processing (QIP) is an emerging field that requires finding a suitable candidate as a quantum bit (qubit), the basic unit for quantum information, which can be organised in a scalable manner to imple...
We report on magnetic studies of inhomogeneous commercial and synthesized amorphous carbon (a-C) and a-C doped with sulfur (a-CS) powders which exhibit (i) peculiar magnetic behavior and (ii) traces of two superconducting (SC) phases TC ~ 33 and at 6...
The present paper discusses the use of two information-theoretical quantities—namely, the classical and quantum Fisher information—in the context of molecular magnetism. These functions quantify the suitability of a given observable to the estimation...
The first complexes with lanthanoid ions and the nitroanilato ligand have been synthesized (nitroanilate dianion = [C6O4(NO2)2]2− = dianion of the 3,6-dinitro-2,5-dihydroxo-1,4-dibenzoquinone ligand). This family of dimers can be formulated as [Ln2(C...
This work addresses the question of the identification of the excited states that are mainly responsible for the magnitude and nature of the magnetic anisotropy in high-spin mononuclear transition metal complexes. Only few states are actually respons...
The combined use of di-2-pyridyl ketone, (py)2CO, and acetates (MeCO2−) in nickel(II) chemistry in H2O-MeCN under basic conditions (Et3N) afforded the coordination cluster [Ni11(OH)6(O2CMe)12{(py)2C(OH)(O)}4(H2O)2] (1) in 80% yield, where (py)2C(OH)(...
Two novel 1D coordination chains containing the curcuminoid (CCMoid) ligand 9Accm have been characterized: [CoII(9Accm)2(4,4´-bpy)]n (1) and [NiII(9Accm)2(4,4´-bpy)]n (2). The two compounds were synthesized by solvothermal and microwave (MW) assisted...
This special issue, entitled “Spin Crossover (SCO) Research”, illustrates the current relevance of a focused topic, which is inturn highly versatile. Indeed, the collection of papers presented constitutes a sampler that shows the topical importance o...
