Intramolecular Magnetic Interaction of Phenylene-Linked Bis-β-diketone Metal Complexes
Dinuclear metal complexes of phenylene-linked bis-β-di-ketone ligands were prepared and the magnetic interactions between the complex units along the π-conjugated linkers were investigated. Both ferro- and antiferromagnetic interactions were observed for the m- and p-phenylene-linked dimers, respectively.
