title: Hexacyanobutadienide-Based Frustrated and Weak Ferrimagnets: M(HCBD)2·zCH2Cl2 (M = V, Fe).
abstract: Hexacyanobutadiene (HCBD) and M(CO)x (M = V, x = 6; Fe, x = 5) react in CH2Cl2 to form new organic-based magnets of M[HCBD]2·z(CH2Cl2) composition. Analysis of the IR spectrum [M = V: ν(CN) 2193 and 2116 cm(-1) (fwhh ∼400 cm(-1)); Fe: 2196 and 2145 (fwhh ∼150 cm(-1))] suggests that HCBD is reduced to the radical anion, [HCBD](•-), and the broadness suggests multiple and variable nitriles sites are coordinated to the V(II), leading to a complex mixture of magnetic couplings and behaviors that deviate from paramagnetic behavior below ∼150 K, and a frustrated magnet with Tc ≈ 9 K is observed for V[HCBD]2, the first cyanocarbon-based frustrated magnet. Fe[HCBD]2 behaves as a weak ferromagnet (canted antiferromagnet) with some spin glass behavior with a 10 K Tc.
