Abstract

The low temperature hysteretic behavior between 40 mK and 4.8 K was obtained for the interpenetrated 3-D structured [Ru2(O 2CMe)4]3[Fe(CN)6]. The unusual constricted hysteretic behavior reported for isomorphous [Ru2(O 2CMe)4]3[Cr(CN)6] was not observed, however, the [Ru2(O2CMe)4]3[Fe(CN) 6] exhibits a single hysteresis loop and a temperature dependence of the coercivity atypical for a ferrimagnetic ordering transition. The 1.06 kOe coercive field is constant below ∼0.3 K, and shows a rapid initial decrease below 1 K, and continues decreasing at a slower rate up to at least 4.8 K. In contrast to [Ru2(O2CMe)4]3[Cr(CN) 6], which has antiferromagnetic coupling of the ferrimagnetic lattices due to the reduced spin on the [FeIII(CN)6] 3-, [Ru2(O2CMe)4] 3[Fe(CN)6] exhibits ferromagnetic coupling of the ferrimagnetic lattices that dominates for [Ru2(O2CMe) 4]3[Fe(CN)6].

Funding

We appreciate the synthesis of [Ru 2 (O 2 CMe) 4 ] 3 [Cr(CN) 6 ] by the late Joshua D. Bell, and the continued support by the US National Science Foundation (F.H. and E.d.B.) from Grant DMR-0747587 , and from Grant DMR-11063630 (J.S.M). R.F. acknowledges support from the US Department of Energy, Office of Basic Energy Sciences, Materials Sciences and Engineering Division . The synthesis and higher temperature magnetization studies were executed at the University of Utah, the low temperature magnetization studies were studied at Central Florida University, and the theoretical insight from Oak Ridge National Laboratory. All groups analyzed the data and contributed to the writing of the manuscript.
