Abstract
Ferrimagnetic coupling in a mesogen is reported for the first time for the compound Mn-III[((OC12H25)(4)TPP)](TCNE) . 2 toluene (where TPP = tetraphenyl porphyrin, TCNE = tetracyanoethylene), which displays liq uid crystal properties above 381 K and ferrimagnetic properties below 21.4 K. The results from differential scanning calorimetry, X-ray diff raction, and AC susceptibility studies are discussed. Evidence is pres ented for the presence of net magnetic moments at zero applied field.
