Magnetic/conducting bifunctionality due to π/σ-conjugated functional moieties in a stacked ferrimagnetic chain.
An alternating chain of a paddlewheel [Ru(2)(II,III)(O(2)CEt)(4)](+) (EtCO(2)(-) = propionate) complex and [Pt(mnt)(2)](-) (mnt(2-) = maleonitriledithiolate) has a ferrimagnetic spin arrangement of S = 3/2 and 1/2 local spins, respectively, as well as three-dimensional antiferromagnetic ordering with a canting mode at 8.6 K. This chain is stacked at the [Pt(mnt)(2)](-) units to form a slipped column in the vertical direction against the chain, which acts as a pathway for electrical conduction.
