Magnetic Investigations on a Liquid-Crystalline Complex Showing Ferromagnetic Properties
The possibility of combining the bulk magnetic properties of ferrimagnetic chains as observed for (MnTPP)-T-III(TCNE) . 2 toluene with the molecular stacking of mesogenic metal-containing meso-porphyrins prompted us to prepare and examine the dodecyloxy-substituted compound Mn-III[((OC12H25)(4)TPP)](TCNE). 2 toluene. This mesogenic complex exhibits ferrimagnetic properties below 21.4 K and considerable large coercive field of 5000 Gauss at 4.2 K.
