Journal ArticleDOI
Polyoxometalate-Mediated Self-Assembly of Single-Molecule Magnets: {[XW9O34]2[MnIII4MnII2O4(H2O)4]}12−
Chris Ritchie,Alan Ferguson,Hiroyuki Nojiri,Haralampos N. Miras,Yu-Fei Song,De-Liang Long,Eric Burkholder,Mark Murrie,Paul Kögerler,Euan K. Brechin,Leroy Cronin +10 more
TL;DR: Significant structural differences in the [MnIII4MnII2O4(H2O)4]8+ cluster core of the X=SiIV analogue modify the magnetic properties, thereby illustrating how polyoxometalate ligands can help in the systematic construction of nanoscale magnets.
Journal ArticleDOI
A mixed-valence Co7 single-molecule magnet with C3 symmetry
Alan Ferguson,Andrew Parkin,Javier Sánchez-Benítez,Konstantin V. Kamenev,Wolfgang Wernsdorfer,Mark Murrie +5 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the synthesis, structure and magnetic properties of [CoII4CoIII3(HL)6(NO3)3(H2O)3]2+ {H3L = H2NC(CH2OH)3} are reported: the complex is an exchangebiased single molecule magnet.
Journal ArticleDOI
Controlled partial interpenetration in metal–organic frameworks
Alan Ferguson,Lujia Liu,Stefanus J. Tapperwijn,David Perl,François-Xavier Coudert,Stijn Van Cleuvenbergen,Thierry Verbiest,Monique A. van der Veen,Shane G. Telfer +8 more
TL;DR: A family of MOFs in which one sub-lattice is fully occupied and the occupancy level of the other can be controlled during synthesis to produce frameworks with variable levels of partial interpenetration is reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Synthesis and characterisation of a Ni4 single-molecule magnet with S4 symmetry.
Alan Ferguson,Jon Lawrence,Andrew Parkin,Javier Sánchez-Benítez,Konstantin V. Kamenev,Euan K. Brechin,Wolfgang Wernsdorfer,Stephen Hill,Mark Murrie +8 more
TL;DR: The Ni4 complex shows the onset of frequency dependent signals in the out-of-phase ac susceptibility below 3 K as mentioned in this paper, confirming that 1 shows slow relaxation of magnetisation.
Journal ArticleDOI
A face-capped [Fe4L4]8+ spin crossover tetrahedral cage
Alan Ferguson,Marie A. Squire,Diana Siretanu,Diana Siretanu,Dmitri Mitcov,Dmitri Mitcov,Corine Mathonière,Corine Mathonière,Rodolphe Clérac,Rodolphe Clérac,Paul E. Kruger +10 more
TL;DR: Single crystal X-ray diffraction suggest spin crossover (SCO) and variable temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements confirm thermally driven SCO behaviour in the solid state and in dilute acetone solution centred around 284-288 K.
