Magnetic properties of vanadium(IV)-based extended systems: [(VO)3(μ-PO4)2(2,2′-bpy)(μ-OH2)]·1/3H2O and (VO)2H4P2O9
摘要:
The magnetic properties of [(VO)(3)(mu-PO4)(2)(2,2'-bpy)(mu-OH2)]1/3H(2)O (1) and (VO)(2)H4P2O9 (2), a tubular and a layered vanadium(IV) phosphates containing triply oxido bridged V-IV dimers, are analyzed considering the Bleaney-Bowers S = 1/2 dimer model. In compound 1 the presence of an additional V-IV connected with the V-IV dimers through mu(1,2)-PO4 (3) bridges is described with a Curie-Weiss type correction. This model reproduces the magnetic properties of compound 1 with g = 1.956, J(dim) = -102.1 cm (1), theta = -0.4 cm (1) and N alpha = 278 x 10 (6) emu mol (1). In compound 2, the presence of a small percentage of paramagnetic impurity has to be considered to account for the divergence of chi(m) at low temperatures. This simple model reproduces the magnetic data of compound 2 with g = 1.99, J = -62.4 cm (1) and a 1.2% of monomeric impurity. The moderate antiferromagnetic coupling found in the triply oxido bridges V-IV dimers is justified from the structural parameters of the bridge. These studies confirm that the coupling through -O-P-O-bridges is antiferromagnetic and relatively weak, as well as previous magneto-structural correlations in this kind of oxido bridges. DFT calculations on a dinuclear fragment model for the two systems gave the following values of J(calc) = -72.4 cm (1) for 1 and J(calc) = -5.2 cm (1) for 2. These values reproduce the antiferromagnetic nature of the superexchange interactions between the V-IV centers. (C) 2012 Elsevier B. V. All rights reserved.
