A novel class of single-chain magnets (SCMs), catena-[FeII(ClO4)2{FeIII(bpca)2}]ClO4 and its derivative, were synthesized using the spin-carrier components possessing hard-axis anisotropy (or easy-plane anisotropy, D > 0). The easy-axis-type anisotropy of whole molecules of these compounds, which is essential for the formation of SCMs, arises from the twisted arrangement of easy-planes of Fe(II) along the chain axis. Alternating high-spin Fe(II) and low-spin Fe(III) chain complexes behave as an SCM with a typical frequency-dependent ac susceptibility which obeys Arrhenius law. Below 7 K, catena-[FeII(ClO4)2{FeIII(bpca)2}]ClO4 showed a short-range spin-ordering even in zero external field in a time range of Mössbauer spectroscopy as well as the muon-spin-relaxation (μSR) spectroscopy. Since the easy-axis-type magnetic anisotropy originated from the structural motif of the twisting arrangement of Fe(II) ions, the overall magnetic property was very sensitive to the small structural changes arising from adsorption/desorption of the crystal solvents, and catena-[FeII(ClO4)2{FeIII(bpca)2}]ClO4 showed a reversible change in magnetism that has been referred to as "a magnetic sponge". In its derivative, controls of the molecular structure, the arrangement of chains in the crystal, and magnetic properties both in dc and ac susceptibility have been achieved by the introduction of methyl group on a bpca- ligand, which bridges and mediates the magnetic interaction of the adjoining Fe(II)/Fe(III) ions.

A synthetic strategy of control of the arrangement and the magnetism of the SCMs by assembly of the chains into a high dimensional network was illustrated in a family of a weak antiferromagnetic chain based 3D framework.

Botulinum toxin is a potent neurotoxin produced by Clostridium botulinum. The toxin inhibits release of neurotransmitter, causing muscle paralysis. There are several serotypes, A to G, all of molecular weight about 150,000. The protein exists as a single chain or or as two chains, with two disulfide linkages. In a recent investigation on intracellular action of neurotoxins it was reported that type B neurotoxin can inhibit the release of Ca++-activated [3H] norepinephrine only if the disulfide bonds are reduced. In order to investigate possible structural changes in the toxin upon reduction of the disulfide bonds, we have prepared two-dimensional crystals of reduced type B neurotoxin. These two-dimensional crystals will be compared with those of the native (unreduced) type B toxin.

Herein, we report a novel Tb(III) single chain magnet with the chemical formulae [Tb(μ-OH2)(phen)(μ-OH)(nb)2]n by using 4-nitrobenzoic acid (Hnb) and 1,10-phenanthroline (phen) as ligand system. The single-crystal X-ray diffraction reveals that 4-nitrobenzoic acid acts as a monodentate ligand, water and hydroxyl ions are the bridging ligand and the phen serves as a bidentate chelating ligand. The static magnetic susceptibility measurement (from 2 K to 300 K) shows ferromagnetic interaction at very low temperature (below 6 K). The alternating current (AC) susceptibility data of the complex show temperature and frequency dependence under an applied 2000 Oe DC (direct current) field. The phen moiety behaves as an antenna and enables the complex to show the green light fluorescence emission by absorption-energy transfer-emission mechanism. To calculate the exchange interaction, broken symmetry density functional theory (BS-DFT) calculations have been performed on a model compound which also reveals weak ferromagnetic interaction. Ab initio calculations reveals the anisotropic nature (gz = 15.8, gy, gy = 0) of the metal centre and the quasi doublet nature of ground state with small energy gap and that is well separated from the next excited energy state.

AbstractThe effect of hydrate number on the structural changes, thermal properties, and ionic (molecular) mobility character in NH_4ZrF_5 ⋅ H_2O, NH_4ZrF_5 ⋅ 0.75H_2O crystal hydrates have been investigated by the methods of IR, Raman, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) (^1H, ^19F, including ^19F MAS), and TG-DTA spectroscopy. Differences in crystal hydrate structures—anion structure, molecular state of water, and O–H⋅⋅⋅F, N–H⋅⋅⋅F hydrogen bond strengths—have been corroborated by IR and Raman spectroscopy data. Isotropic chemical shifts of magnetic inequivalent positions have been determined and attributed to crystal structures of the studied compounds by the method of ^19F MAS NMR. It has been established that the removal of water molecules from NH_4ZrF_5 ⋅ H_2O and NH_4ZrF_5 ⋅ 0.75H_2O results in the transformation of chain or layered structures accompanied by the increase of the number of bridge bonds while retaining or increasing the dimensionality of the anion structural motif. According to the ^1H NMR data, the NH $$_{4}^{ + }$$ cation diffusion in NH_4ZrF_5 occurs only in the temperature range of 370–520 K.

This study deals a phenomenon of magnetic domain transition for the stepped magneto-impedance element. Our previous research shows that an element with 70° inclined easy axis has a typical characteristic of the domain transition, and the transition can be controlled by the normal magnetic field. In this paper, we apply this phenomenon and controlling method to the line arrangement adjacent to many body elements, in which mutual magnetic interaction exists. The result shows that the hidden inclined Landau–Lifshitz domain appears by applying a distributed normal field the same as an individual element.
