Novel structural and magnetic properties of a 1-D iron(II)-manganese(II) LIESST compound bridged by cyanide
The 1-D compound [Fe(L)(CN)(2)][Mn(hfac)(2)] (1), which adopts the -NC-Fe-CN-Mn- heterometallic structure, has been shown to exhibit light-induced excited spin-state trapping effects. After illumination, anti-ferromagnetic coupling was observed between the iron(II) (S = 2) and manganese(II) (S = 5/2) ions.
