Crystal structure and magnetic properties of two-dimensional cyanide-bridged bimetallic assembly composed of Cs-I[Mn-II(3-cyanopyridine)(2){W-V(CN)(8)}]center dot H2O
We have synthesized a two-dimensional manganese(II) octacyanotungstate(V)-based ferrimagnet with a magnetic ordering temperature of 35 K. Single crystal analysis showed that Mn-II ion was axially capped by 3-cyanopyridines, forming a two-dimensional structure. This bimetallic assembly showed ferrimagnetic properties due to the antiferromagnetic interaction between magnetic orbitals of d(Z)2 on W-V ion and d(x'y') on Mn-II ion in the inside of the two dimensional layer.
