Unexpected formation of a dodecanuclear {CoII6CuII6} nanowheel under ambient conditions: magneto-structural correlations. Issue 36 (1st September 2021) - do Pim, Walace D.
Abstract : An unexpected heterobimetallic ring {CoII6CuII6} was synthesised by slow diffusion in water under ambient conditions and its dc magnetic properties were analysed through an effective Hamiltonian in the light of DFT type calculations. Abstract : We report the unique heterobimetallic dodecanuclear oxamate-based {CoII6CuII6} nanowheel obtained using an environmentally friendly synthetic protocol. The effective Hamiltonian methodology employed herein allows the rationalisation of magnetic isotropic or anisotropic metal clusters, being a significant advance for future studies of exciting properties only observed at low and ultralow temperatures.
