Two couples of enantiomerically pure chiral cyano-bridged heterobimetallic one-dimensional (1D) chain complexes: [Mn((R,R)-Salphen)Fe(Tp)(CN)3],, (1) and [Mn((S,S)-Salphen)Te(Tp)(CN)3]n (2) (Salphen = N,N'-l,2-diphenylethylenebis (salicylideneiminato) dianion, Tp = tris(pyrazolyl) hydroborate), [Mn((R,R)-Salphen)Fe(Tp*)(CN)3·2H2O],, (3) and [Mn((S,S)-Salphen)Fe(Tp*)(CN)3.2H20],, (4) (Tp* = hydridotris (3,5-dimethylpyrazol-l-yl) borate), have been successfully synthesized by the reactions of MnⅢ schiff-base complexes with the tricyanometalate building block, [(Lxp)Fe(CN)3]- (Lyp = Tp or Tp*). All complexes are made up of neutral cyano-bridged zigzag double chains with (-Fe-CN-Mn-NC-),, as the repeating unit. Circular dichroism (CD) spectra confirm the enantiomeric nature of the optically active complexes. Magnetic studies demonstrate that ferromagnetic interactions are operative in these complexes. The ferromagnetic couplings become weak in the chains with the bending of the Mn-N=C angles.
Reaction of [Mn（TTF-salphen）][OAc] （TTF-salphen2=2,2＇-（（2-（4,5-bis（methylthio）-1,3-dithiol-2-ylidene）-1,3-benzodithiole- 5,6-diyl）bis（nitrilomethylidyne）bis（pbenolate）dianion） and the cyanometalate building blocks [n-Bu4N][（Tp）Fe（CN）3] （Tp =Tris（pyrazolyl）hydroborate） or [n-Bu4N][Ru（salen）（CN）2] （salen2 =N,N＇-ethylenebis（salicylideneimine）dianion） resulted in the formation of two redox-active complexes, the dinuclear heterometallic complex [（Tp）Fe（CN）3Mn（TTF-salphen）＇CH3OH] （1） and the one dimensional complex [Ru（salen）（CN）2Mn（TTF-salphen）]n （2）. Both complexes were characterized by X-ray crystallography and solid state electrochemistry, in addition to static and dynamic magnetic measurements. Antiferromagnetic couplings are found to be operative between metal ion centers bridged by cyanide in both complexes. Complex 1 exhibited field-induced SMM behavior with an energy barrier of 13.8 K. The introduction of the redox-active TTF unit into cyanidebridged complexes with interesting magnetic properties renders them promising candidates for the construction of new hybrid inorganic-organic materials.
