Molecular and Electronic Structures by Design: Tuning Symmetrical and Unsymmetrical Linear Trichromium Chains

TL;DR: The preparation, properties, and crystal structures of 12 trichromium extended metal atom chain (EMAC) compounds of the type Cr(3)(L)(4)X(2) with large variations in metal-metal distances are reported here and important comparisons with a reported DFT model of the electronic structures of the compounds are made.
Journal ArticleDOI

Additional Steps toward Molecular Scale Wires: Further Study of Ni510/11+ Chains Embraced by Polypyridylamide Ligands

TL;DR: This paper presents two advances in the development of the chemistry of extended metal atom chains (EMACs) that employ di(2-pyridyl)amide (dpa) and its higher homologues (loosely called polypyridylamides) as EMACs employing these ligands are extended to greater lengths, low solubility becomes an increasingly difficult problem.
Journal ArticleDOI

Observation of Symmetry Lowering and Electron Localization in the Doublet-States of a Spin-Frustrated Equilateral Triangular Lattice: Cu3(O2C16H23)·1.2C6H12

TL;DR: The detailed magnetic measurements on a three-electron, equilateral triangular system, and the observation of symmetry lowering in the doublet ground state, should be of broad theoretical and experimental interest in molecular magnetism.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modeling spin interactions in a cyclic trimer and a cuboidal Co4O4 core with Co(II) in tetrahedral and octahedral environments.

TL;DR: The X-ray crystallographic structures, the magnetic susceptibilities from 2 to 300 K, and a theoretical analysis of the magnetism for a triangular and a tetranuclear molecule consisting of linked high-spin cobalt(II) centers are described.
Journal ArticleDOI

Enhancing the stability of trinickel molecular wires and switches: Ni36+/Ni37+

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe four new compounds that contain extended metal atom chains (EMACs) of three nickel atoms wrapped by either di(2-pyridyl)amide (dpa) or the new homologous ligand with an ethyl group at the para position of each pyridine group, depa.
