The V/TCNE/solvent class (TCNE = tetracyanoethylene, solvent = CH2Cl2, THF, or MeCN) includes the first molecule/organic-based compounds that are magnetic at room temperature. Magnetization studies reveal a wide range of behavior consistent with variations in local order and sensitivity to synthetic conditions. In particular, the source of the vanadium cation is found to play a crucial role in determining the final magnetic state. The [MnTPP][TCNE] class (TPP = ,<i>meso</i>-tetraporphyrinato) are crystalline quasi-one-dimensional ferrimagnets with direct metal-TCNE bonds similar to V/TCNE. The parent compound of this class, [MnTPP]::+[TCNE].-•2PhMe, exhibits low-temperature magnetic properties that are novel for a quasi-1D molecular material. A reentrant spin glass phase, metamagnetism, and a broad temperature region of short-range ferrimagnetic order are revealed through studies of magnetization, dynamic and harmonic susceptibility, and specific heat. The results are compared with the expectations of a model of strongly interacting superparamagnetic clusters. The structural anisotropy in [MnTPP][TCNE] is reflected in the high-temperature susceptibility, which is found to deviate significantly from the predictions of current theories of ferrimagnetic chains. The dipole interaction between chains is considered as a viable candidate to explain the long-range order in metal-TCNE chains as well as the lower-temperature glassy behavior in [MnTPP][TCNE].</p> 1995 English text The Ohio State University / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1343143081 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=osu1343143081 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
