title: One-dimensional and two-dimensional anilate-based magnets with inserted spin-crossover complexes.
abstract: The syntheses, structures, and magnetic properties of a family of bimetallic anilate-based compounds with inserted spin-crossover cationic complexes are reported. The structures of 1-4 present a two-dimensional anionic network formed by Mn(II) and Cr(III) ions linked through anilate ligands with inserted [Fe(III)(sal2-trien)](+) (1), [Fe(III)(4-OH-sal2-trien)](+) (2), [Fe(III)(sal2-epe)](+) (3), or [Fe(III)(5-Cl-sal2-trien)](+) (4) complexes. The structure of 5 is formed by anionic [Mn(II)Cl2Cr(III)(Cl2An)3](3-) chains surrounded by [Fe(II)(tren(imid)3)](2+), Cl(-), and solvent molecules. The magnetic properties indicate that 1-4 undergo a long-range ferrimagnetic ordering at ca. 10 K. On the other hand, the inserted Fe(III) cations remain in the low-spin (in 4) or high-spin state (in 1, 2, and 3). In the case of 5, half of the inserted Fe(II) cations undergo a complete and gradual spin crossover from 280 to 90 K that coexists with a magnetic ordering below 2.5 K.
