A. Cornia et al., MAGNETIC EXCHANGE COUPLING IN THE FEIII6(MU-6-O) CORE - A HINT TO THEMAGNETIC-PROPERTIES OF HIGHER-NUCLEARITY SPIN CLUSTERS, Inorganic chemistry, 33(7), 1994, pp. 1559-1561
Variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility measurements performed on
two hexairon(III) clusters containing a mu6-oxo bridge show that this
unusual bridging mode leads to weak antiferromagnetic exchange-coupli
ng interactions between the metal centers, with J(trans) and J(cis) va
lues of 19(2) and 9(1) cm-1, respectively. The result is relevant to t
he search for magneto-structural correlations in oxo-bridged polyiron
aggregates.
