چکیده

A major roadblock to fully realizing molecular electronic devices is the ability to control the properties of each molecule in the device. Herein we report the control of the magnetic properties of single-molecule magnets (SMMs), which can be used in memory devices, by using a photo-isomerizable diarthylenthene ligand. Photo-isomerization of the diarylethene ligand bridging two manganese salen complexes with visible light caused a significant change in the SMM behavior due to opening of the six-membered ring of diarylethene ligand, accompanied by reorganization of the entire molecule. The ring-opening activated the frequency-dependent magnetization of the complex. Our results are a major step towards the realization of molecular memory devices composed of SMMs because the SMM behaviour can be turned on and off simply by irradiating the molecule.

A therapeutically viable photo-activated manganese-based CO-releasing molecule (photo-CO-RM).

A new class of photochemically-activated CO-releasing molecule (photo-CO-RM), based on a Mn(CO)(4)(C^N) system, is reported in this study. Three CO molecules are released per CO-RM molecule. Complex 3 is a fast releaser, thermally stable in the dark and a viable therapeutic agent.

Synthesis, characterisation and computational studies on a novel one-dimensional arrangement of Schiff-base Mn3 single-molecule magnet.

The syntheses, structures and magnetic properties are reported for three new manganese complexes containing the Schiff-base ((2-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)methylene)isonicotinohydrazine (H(2)hmi) ligand. Complex [Mn(II)(H(2)hmi)(2)(MeOH)(2)Cl(2)] (1) was obtained from the reaction of H(2)hmi with MnCl(2) in a MeOH-MeCN mixture. Addition of triethylamine to the previous reaction mixture followed by...

A cascade approach to hetero-pentanuclear manganese-oxide clusters in polyoxometalates and their single-molecule magnet properties.

Structurally well-defined hetero-pentanuclear manganese-oxide clusters {MMn4} were successfully synthesized in TBA7Hn[MMn4(OH)2(A-α-SiW9O34)2]·2H2O·C2H4Cl2 (, M = Fe(iii), Co(ii), Ni(ii), Cu(ii), Ga(iii)) by sequential introduction of metal cations into the trivacant lacunary polyoxometalates (POMs). The pentanuclear manganese-oxide cluster {Mn5} showed a small spin ground state and a low energ...

Single-molecule magnet behaviour in polynuclear assembly of trivalent cerium ions with polyoxomolybdates.

An isopolyoxomolybdate-based POM is coordinated to trivalent cerium ions to afford a hybrid complex namely, [Ce(dmso)8][Ce(η2-NO3)2(dmso)4(α-Mo8O26)0.5][Mo6O19]. The original electrostatic environment created around the Ce(III) by its coordination to the isopolyoxomolybdate core induces complex single-molecule magnet behavior.
