Magnets derived from inorganic materials (e.g., oxides, rare-earth–based, and intermetallic compounds) are key components of modern technological applications. Despite considerable success in a broad range of applications, these inorganic magnets suffer several drawbacks, including energetically expensive fabrication, limited availability of certain constituent elements, high density, and poor scope for chemical tunability. A promising design strategy for next-generation magnets relies on the versatile coordination chemistry of abundant metal ions and inexpensive organic ligands. Following this approach, we report the general, simple, and efficient synthesis of lightweight, molecule-based magnets by postsynthetic reduction of preassembled coordination networks that incorporate chromium metal ions and pyrazine building blocks. The resulting metal-organic ferrimagnets feature critical temperatures up to 242°C and a 7500-oersted room-temperature coercivity.

The incorporation of kinetically inert metal ions as structural elements in crystalline coordination polymers is a synthetic challenge. While a small family of materials based on inert ions has been prepared (<i>i.e.</i> Cr(III)-based MIL-100, MIL-101, and [Ru<sub>6</sub>(btc)<sub>4</sub>Cl<sub>3</sub>]), general strategies that enable reticular synthesis have not been reported. Here we describe the mechanochemical synthesis of a reticular family of crystalline Ru<sub>2</sub>[II,III]-based materials by polymerization of molecular Ru<sub>2</sub> complexes, featuring unprotected carboxylic acid substituents, with Cu(OAc)<sub>2</sub>. The resulting crystalline heterobimetallic MOFs are solid-solutions of Ru<sub>2</sub> and Cu<sub>2</sub> sites housed within [M<sub>3</sub>L<sub>2</sub>] phases. The developed mechanochemical strategy is modular and allows for control of the primary coordination sphere of the Ru<sub>2</sub> sites. We anticipate the strategy will provide a rational approach to incorporation of kinetically inert ions in porous crystalline coordination networks, generating a class of atomically precise mixed-metal materials.

It has been known for a long time that electron irradiation induces damage in maximal valence transition metal oxides such as TiO2, V2O5, and WO3, of which transition metal ions have an empty d-shell. This type of damage is excited by electronic transition and can be explained by the Knoteck-Feibelman mechanism (K-F mechanism). Although the K-F mechanism predicts that no damage should occur in transition metal oxides of which the transition metal ions have a partially filled d-shell, namely submaximal valence transition metal oxides, our recent study on ReO3 shows that submaximal valence transition metal oxides undergo damage during electron irradiation.ReO3 has a nearly cubic structure and contains a single unit in its cell: a = 3.73 Å, and α = 89°34'. TEM specimens were prepared by depositing dry powders onto a holey carbon film supported on a copper grid. Specimens were examined in Hitachi H-9000 and UHV H-9000 electron microscopes both operated at 300 keV accelerating voltage. The electron beam flux was maintained at about 10 A/cm2 during the observation.
