Competing magnetic interactions in a dinuclear Ni(II) complex: antiferromagnetic O-H...O moiety and ferromagnetic N3- ligand.
Synthesis, structural characteristics, magnetic studies and DFT calculations in Ni(II) dinuclear complexes containing two bridging N3- and an O-H...O linkage reveal the existence of ferromagnetic interactions between Ni(II) centers via N3- ligands and antiferromagnetic interactions through the H-bonded moiety. The overall magnetic behavior of the system depends on the delicate balance between these two competing interactions.
