A coordination pi-pi framework exhibits spontaneous magnetization.
A pi-pi scaffolding framework that was assembled as a one-dimensional chain structure comprising alternating Delta- and Lambda-iron(II) chiral building units, [Fe(II)(Delta)Fe(II)(Lambda)(ox)2(phen)2]n, reveals spontaneous magnetization that gives rise to pronounced hysteresis loops below 10 K.
