T. Miyake et al., One-dimensional S = 1 ferromagnetic chain formed by a square Ni2S2 motif in Ni(qt)(2) (qt = quinoline-8-thiolate), CHEM LETT, (8), 2000, pp. 952-953
X-ray crystallographic analysis of the title complex reveals that nickel(II
) ions are arranged to form a one-dimensional chain structure with double t
hiolate-bridges. The Ni-S-Ni angle is 94.3 degrees. Magnetic susceptibility
measurements indicate that the nickel S = 1 spins are ferromagnetically co
upled within a chain.
