Ferroelectric heterobimetallic clusters with ferromagnetic interactions.
Two homochiral trinuclear clusters, {(MeTp)2Fe2(CN)6Ni[(1R,2R)-chxn]2} (1) and {(MeTp)2Fe2(CN)6Ni[(1S,2S)-chxn]2} (2) [chxn = 1,2-diaminocyclohexane; MeTp = methyltris(pyrazolyl)borate], have been synthesized and structurally characterized. Ferroelectric and magnetic measurements reveal that they are rare examples of metal-organic compounds bearing ferroelectricity and intramolecular ferromagnetic interactions.
