Building blocks for 2D molecule-based magnets: The diruthenium tetrapivalate monocation [RuII/III2(O2CtBu) 4]+

Abstract

(Chemical Equation Presented) Networking: In contrast to 3D structured [Ru2(O2CR)4]3[MIII(CN) 6] (M = Cr, Fe, Co) in which R = Me, 2D layered network structures form when R = tBu (see structure orange Ru, dark blue Cr, light blue N, red O, black C). The magnetic properties of 2D materials are investigated to further understand the magnetostructural relationship of 2D extended networks, and why the 2D material magnetically orders at higher temperatures than the 3D structured magnets. © 2005 Wiley-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
