Abstract

Mean field expressions based on the simple Heisenberg model were derived to correlate the inter- and intralayer exchange couplings to the critical temperatures, T c, for several tetracyanoethylene (TCNE)-based magnets with extended two- and three-dimensional (2-D and 3-D) structure types. These expressions were used to estimate the exchange coupling, J, for 2-D ferrimagnetic [M II(TCNE)(NCMe) 2] + (M = Mn, Fe), 3-D antiferromagnetic Mn II(TCNE)[C 4(CN) 8] 1/2, and 3-D ferrimagnetic Mn II(TCNE) 3/2(I 3) 1/2. The type and magnitude of the exchange coupling are in accord with the previously reported magnetic data.
