Functional molecule-based solids built of metal complexes can reveal a great impact of external stimuli upon their optical, magnetic, electric, and mechanical properties. We report a novel molecular material, {[EuIII(H2O)3(pyrone)4][CoIII(CN)6]}·nH2O...
One of the pathways toward luminescent single-molecule magnets (SMMs) is realized by the self-assembly of lanthanide(3+) ions with cyanido transition metal complexes. We report a novel family of emissive SMMs, {YbIII(4-pyridone)4[FeII(phen)2(CN)2]2}(...
The use of two triazine-derived pincer ligands led to the obtaining of a heterometallic compound and of an unexpected 3D coordination polymer (CP). Therefore, by reacting 2,4,6-tri(2-pyridyl)-1,3,5-triazine (tptz) with Zn(NO3)2 and K[Ag(CN)2], the cy...
The thermal decomposition of (XMebpyH)3(H3O)[W(CN)8]·3H2O (where XMebpy denotes 4Mebpy 4,4′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine or 5Mebpy 5,5′-dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine) in glycerol results in the coordination of XMebpy. Salts of t...
The synthesis and single X-ray crystal structures of Tl2[W(CN)6(bpy)]·H2O, Tl[W(CN)6(bpy)], Tl57[{Fe(CN)6}12{NO3}9]·9H2O, Tl4[W(CN)8] and Tl4[Mo(CN)8] are described. Salts crystalize in the monoclinic or trigonal (Fe) space group. For a...
In this study, the insertion of different monodentate co-ligands on Pt(II) complexes bearing a monoanionic C^N*N luminophore as a tridentate chelator was achieved beyond the previously reported chlorido- ([PtCl(L)]) and cyanido-decorated ([PtCN(L)])...
Three new 1D cyanido-bridged 3d-4f coordination polymers, {[Gd(L)(H2O)2Fe(CN)6]·H2O}n (1GdFe), {[Dy(L)(H2O)2Fe(CN)6]·3H2O}n (2DyFe), and {[Dy(L)(H2O)2Co(CN)6]·H2O}n (3DyCo), were assembled following the building-block approach (L = pentadentate bis-s...
The synthesis of molecular materials with magnetic properties, in particular ferromagnetic properties, has been the subject of interest in coordination chemistry for decades. In the last three decades, research has accelerated, as it has emerged that...
A new mixed-valence one-dimensional coordination polymer of formula {[CoII(MeOH)2][(μ-NC)2CoIII(dmphen)(CN)2]2}n·2nH2O (1) was obtained by reacting the Ph4P[CoII(dmphen)(CN)3] metalloligand (dmphen = 2,9-dimethyl-1,10-phenanthroline and Ph4...
Solid-state functional luminescent materials arouse an enormous scientific interest due to their diverse applications in lighting, display devices, photonics, optical communication, low energy scintillation, optical storage, light conversion, or phot...
The combinations of Co(II), octacyanidotungstate(V), and monodentate pyridine N-oxide (pyNO) or 4-phenylpyridine N-oxide (4-phpyNO) led to crystallization of novel crystalline phases {CoII[CoII8(pyNO)12(MeOH)12][WV(CN)8]6} (1) and {CoII[CoII8(4-phpyN...
There has been a renaissance in the interdisciplinary field of Molecular Magnetism since ~2000, due to the discovery of the impressive properties and potential applications of d- and f-metal Single-Molecule Magnets (SMMs) and Single-Ion Magnets (SIMs...
Studies on molecular co-crystal type materials are important in the design and preparation of easy-to-absorb drugs, non-centrosymmetric, and chiral crystals for optical performance, liquid crystals, or plastic phases. From a fundamental point of view...
