Intercalation of decamethylferrocenium cations in bimetallic oxalate-bridged two-dimensional magnets

Abstract

The structure and magnetic properties of novel hybrid molecule-based magnets formed by combination of two magnetically active sublattices, the bimetallic oxalato-bridged honeycomb net [Mn ^II M ^III (ox) ₃ ] (M ^II = Mn, Fe, Co, Cr, Ni, Cu; M ^III = Cr, Fe) and the organometallic cation decamethylferrocenium, are reported.
