The effect of pressure on molecular magnetism |
Résumé |
Clusters of paramagnetic metal ions have attracted intense study since the discovery that such molecules can display the phenomenon of single-molecule magnetism. The energy barrier to the relaxation of the magnetisation implies a large ground state spin multiplicity (S) and a significant zero-field splitting (D) of that ground state. The strength of coupling and the magnitude of the zero-field splitting are governed by the molecular geometry. The application of pressure can significantly change the intra-molecular bond lengths, angles and, occasionally, the connectivity: in-so-doing greatly modifies the observed magnetic parameters.
Two Mn6 SMMs, hydroxo-bridged Cu dimers and Cu-based chains can all be structurally and magnetically distorted by pressure. We describe the combined crystallographic, magnetic and EPR experiments, all performed at high pressure, on these materials.
