Abstract

Abstract : A hybrid daisy-chain has been made, involving an organic thread for an inorganic ring, where the organic thread for the ring also acts as a ligand for a second ring. The ring contains six chromium(iii ) and two zinc(ii ) ions, and two isomers of the rings are found in the daisy-chain. Abstract : A hybrid organic–inorganic molecular daisy chain has been synthesised in one pot reaction. The molecule contains two {Cr6 Zn2 } rings linked through an organic molecule that acts as both template and ligand. Magnetic and spectroscopic data reveal the magnetic complexity of the daisy chain, which can be casted to two magnetic isomers through comparison of experimental and simulated data for Cr(iii ) chains.
