<p>Reaction of Ni(OTf)<sub>2</sub> with the bisbidentate quaterpyridine ligand L results in the self-assembly of a tetrahedral, paramagnetic cage [Ni<sup>II</sup><sub>4</sub>L<sub>6</sub>]<sup>8+</sup>. By selectively exchanging the bound triflate from [OTfÌNi<sup>II</sup><sub>4</sub>L<sub>6</sub>](OTf)<sub>7</sub> (<b>1</b>), we have been able to prepare a series of host-guest complexes that feature an encapsulated paramagnetic tetrahalometallate ion inside this paramagnetic host giving [M<sup>II</sup>X<sub>4</sub>ÌNi<sup>II</sup><sub>4</sub>L<sub>6</sub>](OTf)<sub>6</sub>, where M<sup>II</sup>X<sub>4</sub><sup>2− </sup>= MnCl<sub>4</sub><sup>2−</sup> (<b>2</b>), CoCl<sub>4</sub><sup>2−</sup> (<b>5</b>), CoBr<sub>4</sub><sup>2−</sup> (<b>6</b>), NiCl<sub>4</sub><sup>2−</sup> (<b>7</b>), CuBr<sub>4</sub><sup>2−</sup> (<b>8</b>) or [M<sup>III</sup>X<sub>4</sub>ÌNi<sup>II</sup><sub>4</sub>L<sub>6</sub>](OTf)<sub>7</sub>, where M<sup>III</sup>X<sub>4</sub><sup>−</sup> = FeCl<sub>4</sub><sup>−</sup> (<b>3</b>), FeBr<sub>4</sub><sup>−</sup> (<b>4</b>). Triflate-to-tetrahalometallate exchange occurs in solution and can also be accomplished through single-crystal-to-single-crystal transformations. Host-guest complexes <b>1</b>-<b>8</b> all crystallise as homochiral racemates in monoclinic space groups, wherein the four {NiN<sub>6</sub>} vertex within a single Ni<sub>4</sub>L<sub>6</sub> unit possess the same Δ or Λ stereochemistry. Magnetic susceptibility and magnetisation data show that the magnetic exchange between metal ions in the host [Ni<sup>II</sup><sub>4</sub>] complex, and between the host and the MX<sub>4</sub><sup>n-</sup> guest, are of comparable magnitude and antiferromagnetic in nature. Theoretically derived values for the magnetic exchange are in close agreement with experiment, revealing that large spin densities on the electronegative X-atoms of particular {MX<sub>4</sub>}<sup>n−</sup> guest molecules leads to stronger host-guest magnetic exchange interactions. </p>

Direct supercell approach calculations of the magnetic exchange interactions in Mn-doped ScN was carried out in the local spin density approximation by using the muffin-tin-orbital Green's function method. We found that magnetic interactions are long range interactions and affected by the randomness, band gap corrections, and carrier concentrations. Using total energy minimization approach we found that the global energy minimum of MnN is obtained for zinc-blende structure. If the compound is compressed by 6%, the energy minimum corresponds to the rock-salt structure in disagreement with the experimentally observed tetragonal distorted rock-salt structure, known as -phase. An isostructural phase transition for alloys from MnN -phase to -ScN phase was found to occur at a hydrostatic pressure of 18 GPa. We predict above room temperature for Mn concentrations of about 10% in ScN : Mn system.

Abstract Magnetic exchange interactions (MEIs) define networks of coupled magnetic moments and lead to a surprisingly rich variety of their magnetic properties. Typically MEIs can be estimated by fitting experimental results. But how many MEIs need to be included in the fitting process for a material is not clear a priori, which limits the quality of results obtained by these conventional methods. In this paper, based on linear spin-wave theory but without performing matrix diagonalization, we show that for a general quadratic spin Hamiltonian, there is a simple relation between the Fourier transform of MEIs and the sum of square of magnon energies (SSME). We further show that according to the real-space distance range within which MEIs are considered relevant, one can obtain the corresponding relationships between SSME in momentum space. We also develop a theoretical tool for tabulating the rule about SSME. By directly utilizing these characteristics and the experimental magnon energies at only a few high-symmetry k points in the Brillouin zone, one can obtain strong constraints about the range of exchange path beyond which MEIs can be safely neglected. Our methodology is also general applicable for other Hamiltonian with quadratic Fermi or Boson operators.

In the supramolecular chemistry world, Polyoxometalates (POMs) are considered as a new family of inorganic molecular containers, construct itself by self-assembly reaction from very small units, to form a cluster with unique structural and properties. three structures reported in this paper - differ in their unit cell parameters and also differ from the well-known - as the result of reaction of the Na11H[H(2- x)Bi2W20O70(HWO3)x]·46H2O (x=1.4) with Ca ion at different pH conditions. These structures are [Ca(H2O)7]2[Na(H2O)2]2[HBi2W20O70(HWO3)].14H2O(1), H2[NH4]10[HBi2W20O70(HWO3)] (2), and [NH4]6[Na(H2O)4]2[Ca(H2O)4]2[W12O42].2H2O (3). The last one is bismuth-free and it is formed through reassembly of the precursor. Full structural characterization was made by multiple testing techniques such as single-crystal X-ray diffraction, UV-visible spectroscopy, FT-IR, thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). The single-crystal X-ray diffraction results for the three compounds are as follows:(1), Triclinic, space group P-1, while (2) and (3) crystallize in monoclinic space groups C2/m and P21/n respectively.
