Vanadium(II) Heptacyanomolybdate(III)-Based Magnet Exhibiting a High Curie Temperature of 110 K
We prepared a vanadium heptacyanomolybdate-based magnet, V-2(II)[Mo-III(CN)(7)]center dot(pyrimidine)(2)center dot 4.5H(2)O (VMo), with a Curie temperature (T-C) of 110 K, which is the highest T-C value in [Mo-III(CN)(7)]-based magnets. Additionally, Mn-2(II)[Mo-III(CN)(7)] center dot (pyrimidine)(2) center dot 2H(2)O (MnMo) of a monoclinic structure (P2(1)/n) with T-C = 47 K was prepared to confirm the crystal structure of VMo.
