• Refereed, Magnetochemistry, MDPI, Correlation between Slow Magnetic Relaxations and Molecular Structures of Dy(III) Complexes with N5O4 Nona-Coordination, KAJIWARA Takashi; K. Kobayashi; Y. Harada; K. Ikenaga; Y. Kitagawa; M. Nakano; T. Kajiwara, A series of Dy(III) mononuclear complexes [DyA(2)L](+) (L denotes Schiff base N-5 ligand that occupies equatorial positions and A(-) denotes bidentate anionic O-donor ligands such as NO3- (1), AcO- (2), and acac(-) (3)) were synthesized to investigate the correlation between the slow magnetic relaxation phenomena and the coordination structures around Dy(III). The Dy(III) ion in each complex is in a nona-coordination with the anionic O-donor ligand occupying up-and down-side positions of the N5 equatorial plane. 2 and 3 show slow magnetic relaxation phenomena under a zero bias-field condition, and all complexes showed slow magnetic relaxation under the applied 1000-Oe bias-field conditions. Arrhenius analyses revealed that the Delta E/k(B), the barrier height for magnetization flipping, increases in this order, with the values of 24.1(6), 85(3), and 140(15) K. The effects of the exchanging axial ligands on the magnetic anisotropy were discussed together with the DFT calculations., Apr. 2019, 5, 2, 27, Scientific journal, 10.3390/magnetochemistry5020027

• Refereed, INORGANIC CHEMISTRY, AMER CHEMICAL SOC, Light Lanthanide Complexes with Crown Ether and Its Aza Derivative Which Show Slow Magnetic Relaxation Behaviors, Hisami Wada; Sayaka Ooka; Tomoo Yamamura; Takashi Kajiwara, Two sets of isostructural Ln(III) mononuclear complexes, [Ln(NO3)(3)(18-crown-6)] (Ln = Ce (1), Pr (2), and Nd (3)) and [Ln(NO3)(3)(1,10-diaza-18-crown-6)] (Ln = Ce (4), Pr (5), and Nd (6)), were synthesized, and their slow magnetic relaxation behavior was investigated. Since Ln(III) ions are located in an axially stressed ligand field in both sets of complexes, they can exhibit single-molecule magnet (SMM) behavior owing to the oblate-type electronic distributions of the ground sublevels found in Ce(III), Pr(III), and Nd(III). Field-induced slow magnetic relaxation was observed for Ce(III) and Nd(III) complexes 1, 3, 4, and 6 under an applied bias dc field of 1000 Oe, whereas no slow relaxation was observed for Pr(III) complexes 2 and 5. The slow magnetic relaxation behavior of 1, 3, 4, and 6 was correlated with the even-numbered J(z) sublevels of Ce(III) and Nd(III) ions, known as the Kramers system., Jan. 2017, 56, 1, 147, 155, Scientific journal, 10.1021/acs.inorgchem.6b01764

• Refereed, NATURE COMMUNICATIONS, NATURE PUBLISHING GROUP, One-dimensional Magnus-type platinum double salts, Christopher H. Hendon; Aron Walsh; Norinobu Akiyama; Yosuke Konno; Takashi Kajiwara; Tasuku Ito; Hiroshi Kitagawa; Ken Sakai, Interest in platinum-chain complexes arose from their unusual oxidation states and physical properties. Despite their compositional diversity, isolation of crystalline chains has remained challenging. Here we report a simple crystallization technique that yields a series of dimer-based 1D platinum chains. The colour of the Pt2+ compounds can be switched between yellow, orange and blue. Spontaneous oxidation in air is used to form black Pt2.33+ needles. The loss of one electron per double salt results in a metallic d(z2) state, as supported by quantum chemical calculations, and displays conductivity of 11 S cm(-1) at room temperature. This behaviour may open up a new avenue for controllable platinum chemistry., Jun. 2016, 7, 11950, Scientific journal, 10.1038/ncomms11950

• Refereed, DALTON TRANSACTIONS, ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY, Structural switching from paramagnetic to single-molecule magnet behaviour of LnZn(2) trinuclear complexes, Poh Ling Then; Chika Takehara; Yumiko Kataoka; Motohiro Nakano; Tomoo Yamamura; Takashi Kajiwara, Five LnZn(2) trinuclear complexes, [Ln(NO3){Zn(L)(SCN)}(2)] (H2L is a Schiff base ligand derived from o-vanillin and ethylenediamine; Ln = Tb 1, Dy 2, La 3, Tb0.14La0.86 4, and Dy0.21La0.79 5), were synthesised in which the Zn-II-Ln(III)-Zn-II array exhibits two slightly different arrangements: 1 and 2 exhibited slightly bent arrangements, whereas 3-5 exhibited more linear arrangements. These differences in the arrangements lead to a slightly different coordination geometry around Ln(III). From the detailed studies of dynamic susceptibility, 1 and 2 were found to be paramagnetic, whereas 4 and 5 were SMMs with barriers for the flipping of magnetisation with a height of 41.2(4) K and 156(4) K, respectively., 2015, 44, 41, 18038, 18048, Scientific journal, 10.1039/c5dt02965a

• Refereed, DALTON TRANSACTIONS, ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY, Slow magnetic relaxation of light lanthanide-based linear LnZn(2) trinuclear complexes, Chika Takehara; Poh Ling Then; Yumiko Kataoka; Motohiro Nakano; Tomoo Yamamura; Takashi Kajiwara, Four isostructural LnZn(2) trinuclear complexes, [Ln(NO3){Zn(L)(SCN)}(2)] (H2L is a Schiff base ligand derived from o-vanillin and ethylenediamine), were synthesized, which include light lanthanide ions as spin carriers (Ln = Ce 1, Pr 2, Nd 3, and Sm 4). These complexes involve a linear Zn(II)-Ln(III)-Zn(II) array, which leads to an axially stressed ligand field and can also cause single-moleluce magnet (SMM) behavior in oblate-type electronic distributions of ground sublevels found in Ce(III), Pr(III), and Nd(III). Slow magnetic relaxation behavior was observed in 1 and 3 under an applied bias dc field of 1000 Oe, whereas such a slow relaxation was not observed in 2 and 4. The appearance of field-induced SMM behavior in 1 and 3 was correlated with the even-numbered J(z) sublevels of Ce(III) and Nd(III) ions known as the Kramers system., 2015, 44, 41, 18276, 18283, Scientific journal, 10.1039/c5dt03148f

• Refereed, ORGANOMETALLICS, AMER CHEMICAL SOC, Electron-Deficient Pt2M2Pt2 Hexanuclear Metal Strings (M = Pt, Pd) Supported by Triphosphine Ligands, Eri Goto; Rowshan Ara Begum; Chiaki Ueno; Aya Hosokawa; Chie Yamamoto; Kanako Nakamae; Bunsho Kure; Takayuki Nakajima; Takashi Kajiwara; Tomoaki Tanase, Electron-deficient Pt2M2Pt2 hexanuclear clusters, [Pt4M2(mu-dpmp)(4)(XylNC)(2)](PF6)(4) (M = Pt (7), Pd (8); dpmp = bis((diphenylphosphino)methyl)phenylphosphine), were synthesized by oxidation of hydride-bridged hexanuclear clusters [Pt4M2(mu-H)(mu-dpmp)(4)(XylNC)(2)](PF6)(3) (M = Pt (2), Pd (3)) and were revealed to involve a linearly ordered Pt2M2Pt2 array joined by delocalized bonding interactions with 84 cluster valence electrons, which are discussed on the basis of DFT calculations. The central MM distances of 7 and 8 are significantly reduced upon the apparent loss of a hydride unit from the MHM central part of 2 and 3, indicating that the bonding electrons in the adjacent MPt bonds migrate into the central MM bond to result in a dynamic structural change during two-electron oxidation of the hexanuclear metal strings. A similar Pt-6 complex terminated by two iodide anions, [Pt6I2(mu-dpmp)(4)](PF6)(2) (9), was synthesized from [Pt-6(mu-H)I-2(mu-dpmp)(4)](PF6) (5) by treatment with [Cp2Fe][PF6]. Complexes 7 and 8 were readily reacted with the neutral two-electron donors XylNC, CO, and phosphines to afford the trinuclear complexes [Pt2M(mu-dpmp)(2)(XylNC)L](PF6)(2) (M = Pt, L = XylNC (la), CO (10), PPh3 (11); M = Pd, L = XylNC (1b)) through cleavage of the electron-deficient central M-M bond. 'When complex 7 was reacted with the diphosphines (PP) trans-Ph2PCH=CHPPh2 (dppen) and Ph2P(CH2)(2)PPh2 (dppe), the diphosphine was inserted into the central M-M bond to afford [(XylNC)Pt-3(mu-dpmp)(2)(PP)Pt-3(mu-dpmp)(2)(XylNC)](PF6)(4) (12), which was transformed by treatment with another 1 equiv of diphosphine into the asymmetric trinuclear complexes [Pt-3(mu-dpmp)(2)(XylNC)(PP)](PF6)(2) (13). A further ligand exchange reaction of 13a (PP = trans-dppen) provided the diphosphine-terminated symmetrical Pt3 complex [Pt-3(mu-dpmp)(2)(L)(2)](PF6)(2) (L = trans-dppen (14a)). Complexes 7 and 8 were also reacted with [AuCl(PPh3)] to yield the Pt2MAu heterotetranuclear complexes [Pt2MAuCl(mu-dpmp)(2)(PPh3)(XylNC)RPF6)(2) (M = Pt (15), Pd (16)), in which the Pt2M trinuclear fragment is inserted into the Au-Cl bond in a 1,1-fashion on the central M atoms of the Pt2M2Pt2 string., Apr. 2014, 33, 8, 1893, 1904, Scientific journal, 10.1021/om401211d

• Refereed, CHEMICAL PHYSICS, ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, Magnetic relaxations in a Tb-based single molecule magnet studied by quasielastic neutron scattering, Maiko Kofu; Takashi Kajiwara; Jason S. Gardner; Giovanna G. Simeoni; Madhusudan Tyagi; Antonio Faraone; Kenji Nakajima; Seiko Ohira-Kawamura; Motohiro Nakano; Osamu Yamamuro, By using ac magnetic susceptibility and quasielatic neutron scattering (QENS) techniques, we have investigated a magnetization relaxation phenomenon of a rare-earth based single molecule magnet, TbCuC19H20N3O16. We clearly identified and characterized two magnetic relaxations. The slower relaxation observed in the ac susceptibility is at the ms timescale around T = 2 K and its activation energy is 16 K. On the other hand, the faster relaxation in the QENS measurements occurs on the timescale between ns and ps with activation energy of 174 K. The slower relaxation may occur through thermally activated tunneling among magnetic substates. We discuss two possible origins for the faster relaxation; one is a thermally activated tunneling between the higher excited states, the other is the magnetic relaxation coupled with the motion of ligands around the magnetic ions. This is the first clear observation of magnetic relaxation on the single molecule magnet revealed by QENS. (C) 2013 Elsevier B. V.

• Refereed, PHYSICAL REVIEW B, AMER PHYSICAL SOC, Hyperfine structure of magnetic excitations in a Tb-based single-molecule magnet studied by high-resolution neutron spectroscopy, M. Kofu; O. Yamamuro; T. Kajiwara; Y. Yoshimura; M. Nakano; K. Nakajima; S. Ohira-Kawamura; T. Kikuchi; Y. Inamura, We report inelastic neutron scattering results on a rare-earth-based single-molecule magnet, the Tb-Cu dinuclear complex. By means of a high-resolution neutron chopper spectrometer, the details of the excitations were clarified. The magnetic excitations are clearly observed at (h) over bar omega=1.7 and 12.3 meV. The transition energy of 1.7 meV corresponds to the energy barrier of magnetic relaxation estimated from an ac magnetic susceptibility measurement. This indicates that the magnetization reversal occurs through quantum tunneling between pairs of degenerated excited states at 1.7 meV, which is called a thermally activated tunneling process. Interestingly, these excitations exhibit further peak splitting in energy and their energies are independent of momentum transfer Q. Our calculation, which is based on a spin Hamiltonian, suggests that (i) the excitation at 1.7 meV originates from the exchange coupling between Tb3+ and Cu2+, (ii) the excitation at 12.3 meV corresponds to the transition between the multiplets J of the Tb3+ moment, and (iii) the fine peak splitting in energy is due to the hyperfine interaction between the nuclear spin and electron spin and orbital magnetic moments., Aug. 2013, 88, 6, 064405, Scientific journal, 10.1103/PhysRevB.88.064405

• Refereed, INORGANIC CHEMISTRY, AMER CHEMICAL SOC, Wheel-Shaped Icosanuclear Homo- and Heterometallic Complexes of Ni-II, Co-II, and Cu-II Ions Supported by Unsymmetrical Aminoalcohol Ligands, Takayuki Nakajima; Keiko Seto; Fumihiro Horikawa; Isao Shimizu; Andreas Scheurer; Bunsho Kure; Takashi Kajiwara; Tomoaki Tanase; Masahiro Mikuriya, Reactions of M(OAc)(2)center dot 4H(2)O (M = Ni, Co) with 3-[benzyl(2-hydroxyethypamino]-1-propanol (H2L) in the presence of pyridine or triethylamine afforded novel homometallic icosanuclear wheel-shaped complexes [M20L4(HL)(4)(OAc)(28)] (M = Ni (1), Co (2)), which consist of a central M-12(II) single-stranded, nearly planar loop with four peripheral [M-2(HL)(OAc)(2)] fragments attached in an S-4 symmetrical fashion. The complexes can alternatively be recognized as saddle-shaped wheel structures, in which four tetranuclear units of [M4L(HL)(OAc)(2)](2-) are connected by four M2+ ions (M5). The tetranuclear unit itself can be derived from an ideal C-2 symmetrical [M-4(HL)(2)(mu-eta(2)-OAc)(4)(mu-eta(1),eta(1)-OAc)(2)(eta(1),eta(1)-OAc)](-) structure through deprotonation of the HL- ligand, and is composed of two plane shared M3O4 incomplete cubanes in which the M2 and M3 atoms are involved in the central fused plane and the M1 and M4 atoms are disposed at the apex sites. Mixed-metal icosanuclear complexes [NixM20-xL4(HL)(4)(OAc)(28)] (3, M = Co, x = 9.5) and [Ni12M8L4(HL)(4)(OAc)(28)] (4, M = Cu) were also synthesized by using equimolar amounts of Ni-II and ions, and were shown to have similar structures to 1 and 2. X-ray crystallographic and fluorescent analyses revealed that complex 3 contains nonstoichiometric amounts of Ni2+ and Co2+ ions in the ratio of 9.5:10.5 and that these are disordered at every metal site. In striking contrast, complex 4 has a stoichiometric formula of Ni12Cu8, which was confirmed by the Jahn-Teller elongation of Cu2+ ions, and consequently, the M2 and M5 positions are occupied exclusively by the Cu2+ ions. The temperature-dependent direct current (dc) magnetic susceptibility data showed the presence of ferromagnetic exchange interactions in the Ni homometallic (1) and NiCu bimetallic (4) complexes, while the Co homometallic (2) and NiCo bimetallic (3) complexes exhibited antiferromagnetic interactions due to spin-orbit coupling effects of the octahedral Co-II ions. The present results demonstrate that the unsymmetrical aminoalcohol ligand H2L is quite effective in organizing the homo- and heterometallic icosanuclear wheel-shaped metal arrangements., Nov. 2012, 51, 22, 12503, 12510, Scientific journal, 10.1021/ic3019106

• Refereed, DALTON TRANSACTIONS, ROYAL SOC CHEMISTRY, Correlation between slow magnetic relaxation and the coordination structures of a family of linear trinuclear Zn(II)-Ln(III)-Zn(II) complexes (Ln = Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm and Yb), Moe Maeda; Shiori Hino; Kei Yamashita; Yumiko Kataoka; Motohiro Nakano; Tomoo Yamamura; Takashi Kajiwara, Six linear trinuclear [Ln{Zn(L)(AcO)}(2)]BPh4 complexes (H2L denotes the Schiff-base ligand formed by a condensation reaction between ethylenediamine and two equivalents of o-vanillin), including Ln = Tb (1), Dy (2), Ho (3), Er (4), Tm (5) and Yb (6) were synthesized and were confirmed to be isostructural via X-ray crystallographic analyses. The Ln(III) ion in each complex is deca-coordinated by four equatorial oxygen donors from the methoxo groups of the Schiff-base ligands, two oxygen donors from the acetate anions and four axial oxygen donors from the phenoxo groups of the Schiff-base ligands. AC susceptibility measurements, with an oscillating frequency of 10 to 10 000 Hz, revealed that 1, 2, 4 and 6 show slow magnetic relaxation under a 1000 Oe DC bias field, which occurs via a single process, as confirmed by the semi-circular Cole-Cole plots. These complexes are considered to be field-induced single-molecule magnets under these conditions. The presence or absence of the slow magnetic relaxation process is discussed by correlating the characteristic magnetic anisotropy of each Ln(III) ion with the ligand field anisotropy., 2012, 41, 44, 13640, 13648, Scientific journal, 10.1039/c2dt31399e

• Refereed, CHEMISTRY-A EUROPEAN JOURNAL, WILEY-BLACKWELL, Structural Design of Easy-Axis Magnetic Anisotropy and Determination of Anisotropic Parameters of Ln(III)-Cu-II Single-Molecule Magnets, Takashi Kajiwara; Motohiro Nakano; Kohei Takahashi; Shinya Takaishi; Masahiro Yamashita, Four dinuclear Le(III)-Cu-II complexes with Ln = Tb (1), Dy (2), Ho (3), and Er (4) were synthesized to investigate the relationship between their respective magnetic anisotropies and ligand-field geometries. These complexes were crystallographically isostructural, and a uni-axial ligand field was achieved by using three phenoxo oxygen groups. Complexes 1 and 2 displayed typical single-molecule magnet (SMM) behaviors, of which the out-of-phase susceptibilities were observed in the temperature range of 1.8-5.0 K (1) and 1.8-20.0 K (2). The Cole-Cole plots exhibited a semicircular shape with alpha parameters in the range of 0.08-0.18 (2.6-4.0 K) and 0.07-0.24 (3.5-7.0 K). The energy barriers Delta/k(B) were estimated from the Arrhenius plots to be 32.9(4) K for 1 and 26.0(5) K for 2. Complex 3 displayed a slow magnetic relaxation below 3.0 K, whereas complex 4 did not show any frequency-dependent behavior for both in-phase and out-of-phase susceptibilities, which indicates that easy-axis anisotropy was absent. The temperature dependence of the dc susceptibilities for the field-aligned samples of 1-3 revealed that the chi T-M value continuously increased as the temperature was lowered, which indicates the presence of low-lying Stark sublevels with the highest vertical bar J(z)vertical bar values. In contrast, complex 4 displayed a smaller and temperature-independent chi T-M value, which also indicates that easy-axis anisotropy was absent. Simultaneous analyses were carried out for 1-3 to determine the magnetic anisotropy parameters on the basis of the Hamiltonian that considers B-2(0), B-4(0), and B-6(0)., 2011, 17, 1, 196, 205, Scientific journal, 10.1002/chem.201002434

The structures of complexes 1 [LVIII(CH3OH)](0), 2[LVIV(OCH3)](0) and 3[LVIV(acac)](0) were determined by X-ray diffraction methods as having five-coordinate V(III), 1, five-coordinate non-oxo-vanadium(IV), 2, and six-coordinate non-oxo-vanadium(IV) 3, respectively. Compounds 1-3 were also studied with electrochemical methods, variable-temperature (2-295 K) magnetic susceptibility measurements and X-band electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) spectroscopy. The electrochemical results of 2 and 3 suggest metal-centered oxidation, i.e. the generation of a V-V-phenolate species.

Breedlove; Hitoshi Miyasaka; Masahiro Yamashita, The electronic structures of quasi-one-dimensional halogen-bridged mixed-metal compounds [Ni1-xPdx(chxn)(2)Br]Br-2 were investigated by means of powder X-ray diffraction measurements. Unit cell lengths of all directions obeyed a linear relationship when x < 0.9, whereas those deviated when x > 0.9 especially in the case of the b and c axes. This deviation can be explained by a phase change from an M-III Mott-Hubbard state to an M-II-M-IV charge-density-wave state because of chemical pressure caused by the substitution of Pd ions into [Pd(chxn)(2)Br]Br-2 with smaller Ni ions., Apr. 2010, 49, 8, 3694, 3696, Scientific journal, 10.1021/ic1001368

These complexes showed a typical ferrimagnetic behavior on direct current (dc) susceptibility data, and from an alternating current (ac) susceptibility measurements, SCM or superparamagnetic behaviors were confirmed with the A/kB values of 22.5(4), 21.8(18), and 28.8(3) K for 1.3MeNO2, 2- 2MeNO2" H20, and 3 -3.5MeNO2, of which the easy-axis anisotropy was originated from the orthogonal arrangement of easy-planes of Fen ions.

Breedlove; Masahiro Yamashita; Hideo Kishida; Hiroyuki Matsuzaki; Hiroshi Okamoto; Hisaaki Tanaka; Shinichi Kuroda, Single crystals of quasi-one-dimensional bromo-bridged Ni-Pd mixed-metal complexes with 2S,3S-diaminobutane (bn) as an in-plane ligand, [Ni1-xPdx(bn)(2)Br]Br-2, were obtained by using an electrochemical oxidation method involving mixed methanol/2-propanol (1:1) solutions containing different ratios of [Ni-II(bn)(2)]Br-2 and [Pd-II(bn)(2)]Br-2. To investigate the competition between the electron-correlation of the Ni-III states, or Mott-Hubbard states (MH), and the electron-phonon interaction of the Pd-II-Pd-IV mixed valence states, or charge-density-wave states (CDW), in the Ni-Pd mixed-metal compounds, X-ray structure analyses, X-ray oscillation photograph, and Raman, IR, ESR, and single-crystal reflectance spectra were analyzed. In addition, the local electronic structures of Ni-Pd mixed-metal single crystals were directly investigated by using scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) at room temperature and ambient pressure. The oxidation states of [Ni1-xPdx(bn)(2)Br]Br-2 changed from a M-II-M-IV mixed valence state to a M-III MH state at a critical mixing ratio (x(c)) of similar to 0.8, which is lower than that of [Ni1-xPdx(chxn)(2)Br]Br-2 (chxn=1R,2R-diaminocyclohexane) (x(c) approximate to 0.9) reported previously. The lower value of x(c) for [Ni1-xPdx(bn)(2)Br]Br-2 can be explained by the difference in their CDW dimensionalities because the three-dimensional CDW ordering in [Pd(bn)(2)Br]Br-2 observed by using X-ray diffuse scattering stabilizes the Pd-II-Pd-IV mixed valence state more than two-dimensional CDW ordering in [Pd(chxn)(2)Br]Br-2 does, which has been reported previously., Aug. 2009, 48, 15, 7446, 7451, Scientific journal, 10.1021/ic901067z

Breedlove; Takashi Kajiwara; Shinya Takaishi; Naoto Ishikawa; Hironari Isshiki; Feng Zhang Yan; Tadahiro Komeda; Masakazu Yamagishi; Jun Takeya, The crystal structures of double-decker single molecule magnets (SMM) LnPc2 (Ln = Tb(III) and Dy(III); Pc = phthalocyanine) and non-SMM YPc2 were determined by using X-ray diffraction analysis. The compounds are isomorphous to each other. The compounds have metal centers (M ) Tb3+, Dy3+, and Y3+) sandwiched by two Pc ligands via eight isoindole-nitrogen atoms in a square-antiprism fashion. The twist angle between the two Pc ligands is 41.4°. Scanning tunneling microscopy was used to investigate the compounds adsorbed on a Au(111) surface, deposited by using the thermal evaporation in ultrahigh vacuum. Both MPc 2 with eight lobes and MPc with four lobes, which has lost one Pc ligand, were observed. In the scanning tunneling spectroscopy images of TbPc molecules at 4.8 K, a Kondo peak with a Kondo temperature (TK) of ∼250 K was observed near the Fermi level (V = 0 V). On the other hand, DyPc, YPc, and MPc2 exhibited no Kondo peak. To understand the observed Kondo effect, the energy splitting of sublevels in a crystal field should be taken into consideration. As the next step in our studies on the SMM/Kondo effect in Tb-Pc derivatives, we investigated the electronic transport properties of Ln-Pc molecules as the active layer in top- and bottom-contact thin-film organic field effect transistor devices. Tb-Pc molecule devices exhibit p-type semiconducting properties with a hole mobility (μH) of ∼10-4 cm2 V-1 s-1. Interestingly, the Dy-Pc based devices exhibited ambipolar semiconducting properties with an electron mobility (μe) of ∼10-5 and a μH of ∼10-4 cm2 V-1 s-1. This behavior has important implications for the electronic structure of the molecules. © 2009 American Chemical Society., 29 Jul. 2009, 131, 29, 9967, 9976, Scientific journal, 10.1021/ja902349t

The structures of complexes 1 and 2 were confirmed by X-ray crystallography. Complex 2 is meso form containing (R)- and (S)-dipe-O-. Dipe-O- acts as a tridentate ligand with an N,N,O-donor set and bridges two copper(II) ions through the oxygen atom. The oxygen atom is incorporated into dipe from atmospheric molecular oxygen during the reaction of dipe with copper ion. The temperature dependences of chi T-m values were different between 1 and 2 depending on the bridging structures. Complex 1 shows ferromagnetic interaction and the value of 2J = 117cm(-1) is in agreement with that predicted from the angle Cu-O-Cu bridging angle of 96.9 degrees.

Breedlove; Takashi Kajiwara; Shinya Takaishi; Tadahiro Komeda, Self-assemblies of a nonplanar dysprosium-phthalocyanine (DyPc) molecule on the reconstructed Au(111) substrate have been examined with a low-temperature scanning tunneling microscope (STM). A four-lobed structure with a dark center hole is imaged as an isolated DyPc molecule, where the Dy atom is expected to be positioned below the Pc plane and bound,to the Au substrate. Careful measurements reveal that the axes of isolated DyPc molecules align well with the high symmetry directions of Au. This fact illustrates a strong molecule-substrate interaction. In a monolayer film, a square molecule lattice is observed, where the geometries of the molecules can be determined by our submolecularly resolved STM images. The deduced lattice vectors and the azimuthal angles of the molecules account for a dominant molecule-molecule interaction. In a bilayer growth regime, the bonding configurations of the molecules in the second layer coincide with that of the first layer. A similar azimuthal angle appearing in the two layers may indicate a columnar packing geometry of DyPc molecules., Aug. 2009, 113, 32, 14407, 14410, Scientific journal, 10.1021/jp9045935

Breedlove; Takashi Kajiwara; Shinya Takaishi; Tadahiro Komeda, We show a 4.8 K STM observation of a double-decker bis(phthalocyaninato)yttrium (YPc(2); Pc = phthalocyanine) molecule adsorption on Au(111) substrate. An eight-lobed structure was imaged as the submolecule STM contrast of a single molecule both in an isolated state and in a molecule film. This feature arises from the top Pc group, where both sides of the four phenyl rings are highlighted. As an isolated molecule, the adsorption orientation is determined by the lower Pc, the diagonal axis of which aligns parallel to the close-packed direction of Au(111). In a 2D film, a near-square molecule lattice appears with a unit of similar to 1.47 x 1.38 nm(2), and one of the lattice vectors is rotated by similar to 15 degrees from the close-packed direction. A tentative model is provided to illustrate the molecule array where neighboring molecules are rotated by similar to 30 degrees from each other. In this way, the lower Pcs should align along the [10 (1) over bar] and [(2) over bar 11] directions (or their equivalent directions) alternately. All these facts illustrate the molecule-substrate and the molecule-molecule interactions in the initial adsorption and in the film accumulation., Jun. 2009, 113, 22, 9826, 9830, Scientific journal, 10.1021/jp902410q

Although vapochromic 1 center dot A 4H (2) O has been synthesized, dehydrated high-temperature structure has never been determined because of lowering the quality of crystal by dehydration.

The Pt-I-Pt distance (d(Pt-I-Pt)) of compound 1 center dot A 4H (2) O was shortened for approximately 1.1 A... by desorption of water to form compound 1, accompanied with phase transition in electronic states.

• Refereed, BULLETIN OF THE CHEMICAL SOCIETY OF JAPAN, CHEMICAL SOC JAPAN, Tetra- and di-nuclear copper(II) complexes with stereoisomers of sulfinylcalix[4]arene arising from the disposition of four S=O groups, Nobuhiko Iki; Yusuke Yamane; Naoya Morohashi; Takashi Kajiwara; Tasuku Ito; Sotaro Miyano, A systematic investigation was conducted on the structures of tetra- and di-nuclear copper(II) complexes with three stereoisomers of sulfinylcalix[4]arenes (H4L), the isomerism of which is determined by the disposition of the sulfinyl oxygen with respect to a reference oxygen from the mean plane containing four sulfur atoms. The sulfinylcalix[4]arene with a trans-cis-trans S = O orientation (H4Lrtct) reacted with Cu(OAc)(2) to form [Cu(II)4(L-rtct)(OAc)(3)(mu-MeO)(MeOH)] (1), in which Lrtct4- adopts a cone conformation to afford tetrakis fac-tridentate coordination through four phenoxo oxygens and four sulfinyl groups giving a square Cu-4(II) core. Ligands H4Lrccc and H4Lrctt having cis-cis-cis and cis-trans-trans configurations formed [Cu-4(II)(L-rccc)(OAc)(3)(mu-OH)] (2) and [Cu-4(II)(L-rctt)(OAC)(3)(mu-OH)] (3), respectively, which have common features, such as a cone-type conformation of L4-, tetrakis fac-tridentate coordination fashion, and tetra-copper(II) core in a square-pyramidal geometry. The similarities among 1-3 clearly show that sulfinylcalix[4]arenes can coordinate to Cu-II in a fac-tridentate fashion via a donor atom X (O or S) from a sulfinyl group and two flanking phenoxo O-s(-) and that X is simply determined by the X-Cu distance. Using [Cu(acac)(2)] as a copper(II) source, H4L(rctt) formed [Cu-2(II)(H2Lrctt)(2)] (4), suggesting the significance of auxiliary ligand for bridging copper(II) centers to assemble the core, that is, the acetato ligands in complexes 1-3 are needed to form the core structure. Metal-metal interactions were investigated by means of magnetic susceptibility, and it was found that both ferro- and antiferromagnetic interactions occur in tetracopper(II) complex 3. In contrast, antiferromagnetic interaction is present in dicopper(II) complex 4., Jun. 2007, 80, 6, 1132, 1139, Scientific journal, 10.1246/bcsj.80.1132

Among the [Pt(mnt)(2)](n-) units, two units in 1 and four units in 2 are coordinated with the [Mn-4](4+) unit, forming a 1D chain of {-[Mn-4]-[Pt(mnt)(2)](2)-} for 1 and a discrete subunit of [Pt(mnt)(2)](2)-[Mn-4]-[Pt(mnt)(2)](2)} for 2. The other two [Pt(mnt)(2)](n-) units, occupying void space of the packing, form a stacking column with the coordinating [Pt(mnt)(2)](n-) units, finally constructing hybrid frames of aggregates consisting of [Mn-4](4+) units and [Pt(mnt)(2)](n-) units. Electronic conductivity measurements revealed that 1 is an insulator and 2 is a semiconductor with sigma = 0.22 S center dot cm(-1),at room temperature and an activation energy of 136 meV. Detailed magnetic measurements proved that the [Mn-4](4+) units in 1 and 2 behave as SMMs with an S-T = 9 ground state at low temperatures. There is no significant interaction between [Mn-4](4+) units and [Pt(mnt)(2)](n-) units, but interactions between localized spins of [Pt(mnt)(2)](n-) were detected even in 2 at low temperatures where the conductivity is electronically insulated. 2 is the first example of a hybridized material exhibiting SMM behavior and electronic conductivity., Nov. 2007, 46, 23, 9661, 9671, Scientific journal, 10.1021/ic700727n

The crystal structures of the DMET salts are isostructural, consisting of a quasi-one-dimensional stack of DMET and insulating layers containing metal halide anions and TCE. Semimetallic band structures are calculated by the tight-binding approximation. Metal-insulator transitions are observed at T-MI = 25, 15, 5-20, and 13 K for M = Mn, Co, Cu, and Zn, respectively. The M = Cu salt exhibits anisotropic conduction at ambient pressure, being semiconducting in the intralayer current direction but metallic for the interplane current direction, down to T-MI. The metal-insulator transitions are suppressed under pressure. In the M = Co and Zn salts, large magnetoresistances with hysteresis are observed at low temperatures, on which Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations are superposed above 30 T. In the M = Cu salt, no hysteresis is observed but clear Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations are observed. The magnetoresistance is small and monotonic in the M = Mn salt. Paramagnetic susceptibilities of the spins of the magnetic ions are observed for the M = Mn, Co, and Cu salts with small negative Weiss temperatures of similar to 1 K. In the nonmagnetic M = Zn salt, Pauli-like pi-electron susceptibility that vanishes at T-MI is observed. The ground state of the pi-electron system is understood as being a spin density wave state caused by imperfect nesting of the Fermi surfaces. In this pi-electron system, the magnetic ions of the M = Mn, Co, and Cu salts interact differently, exhibiting a variety of transport behaviors., Jul. 2007, 129, 27, 8510, 8518, Scientific journal, 10.1021/ja070672q

M. Islam; Yasunori Ohba; Takashi Kajiwara; Masahiro Yamashita; Seigo Yamauchi, The newly synthesized tetra(quinoline-TEMPO)yttrium(III) potassium salt shows interesting structural features at the molecular and supramolecular levels, revealed by the analysis of the X-ray diffraction data. The magnetic susceptibility and EPR data corroborated with structural considerations showed that the exchange and dipolar spin coupling interactions are taking place at the nodes assembling the supramolecular 2D structure. The Y(III) center shows antiprismatic octacoordination, close to the idealized D-2 symmetry. The diamagnetic transition metal plays no role in mediating the radical interactions since the TEMPO-type fragments are remote from the chelating moieties of the ligand. In turn, significant interaction occurs on the nodes consisting in the quasi-rectangular coordination of potassium counterions by the spin-bearing TEMPO groups coming from four distinct complex units. The antiferromagnetic susceptibility was consistently modeled by a spin Hamiltonian based on the rectangle topology of four spins S = (1)/(2). The fitted exchange parameters are J(a) = -5.1 cm(-1) and J(b) = -3.4 cm(-1) for the edges, imposing J(d) = 0 for the diagonal. These values are in excellent agreement with the ab initio results J(a) = -4.83 cm(-1), J(b) = -3.44 cm(-1), J(d) = -0.07 cm(-1) obtained in a CASSCF(12,8) calculation. Based on the reliability of the ab initio results we were able to select the presented J parameters among several versions of multiple solutions with acceptable goodness of the fit. A methodological caveat about the artifacts of the automatic use of best fit parameters, in the absence of supplementary criteria, in the context of relative blindness of magnetic susceptibility modeling, is raised. The details of the EPR spectrum at 10 K are also consistent, in the frame of dipolar approximation, with the model of four interacting spins at the nodes of the supramolecular assembling., Feb. 2007, 46, 3, 660, 669, Scientific journal, 10.1021/ic0610841

Three complexes are crystallographically isostructural, being crystallized in the triclinic crystal system with space group Pi. The calix[4]arene acts as a tetrakis fac-tridentate ligand through four phenoxo and four sulfonyl oxygen atoms to form square arrangement of four metal ions, which are further bridged by four chelating acetate ions and one hydroxo ion in a mu(4) manner to complete the hexacoordination of each metal center. Although the whole molecule of each complex is crystallographically independent, the molecule is highly symmetrical with a pseudo-four-fold axis lying on the mu(4)-OH- group. The tetranuclear clusters are stable enough to maintain the core structures even in highly dilute solution (approximate to 10 mu m), which was confirmed by mass spectroscopic study, however, bridging acetates were easily exchanged by other carboxylate chelates to form derivatives such as [M-4(L)(BzO)(4)(OH)](-). Metal-metal interactions were investigated by means of magnetic susceptibility, and it was revealed that both ferro- and antiferromagnetic interactions occur in the Ni-II complex depending on the bridging angles of Ni-O-Ni.

The sulfonylcalixarene adopts a pinched-cone conformation in the dinuclear complexes and a cone conformation in the cubane complexes. Because the calixarene has a large pi-conjugate system expanding over the entire molecule, it behaves as a good antenna chromophore for UV and near-UV light, and a slight conformational change of the calixarene ( from cone to pinched-cone and vice versa) has an effect on the energy levels of excited S-1 and T-1 states. As a result, selectivity is observed in the luminescent properties of dinuclear and cubane-shaped systems of Eu-III and Tb-III., Jun. 2006, 45, 13, 4880, 4882, Scientific journal, 10.1021/ic060397t

In all the complexes except for 3, a pinched conic L6- acts as a pentanucleating ligand that involves a similar pyramidally arranged cluster core. Each mixed metal complex 4-6 involves four tetragonally arranged Ni-II ions occupying the basal plane of the pyramid and a M-II ion placed at the apex position. In 3, H2L4- is in a cone conformation and the four Ni-II ions are arranged on the donor surface of H2L4- in a zigzag manner.

Previous reports describe the structure as being in the monoclinic centrosymmetric space group C2/m. We have recently found that this material exhibits ferroelectricity, and therefore BaTi2O5 should have lower symmetry. The crystal structure of BaTi2O5 was refined in space group C2, revealing a displacement of the Ti atoms along the b axis.

Three complexes, with M' = Mn, crystallize in the same space group, Pna2(1), whereas two complexes, with M' = Fe, crystallize in P4(1), and complexes within each set are isostructural to one another, In all complexes, [M(bpca)(2)] acts as a bis-bidentate bridging ligand to form a linear trinuclear complex in which three metal ions are arranged in the manner W-M-W. The central metal ion is in a strong ligand field created by the N-6 donor set, and hence the Fe(II) in the {Fe(bpca)(2)} moiety is in a low-spin state. The terminal metal ions (M') are surrounded by O-6 donor sets with a moderate ligand field, which leads to the high-spin configuration of Fe(II). Three metal ions in all complexes are almost collinear, and metal-metal distances are ca. 5,5 Angstrom. The, magnetic behavior of NiMn2 and NiFe2 shows a weak ferromagnetic interaction between the central Ni(II) ion and the terminal Mn(II) or Fe(II) ions. In these complexes, sigma-spin orbitals of the central Ni(II) ion and those of terminal metal ions have different symmetry about a 2-fold rotation axis through the Ni-N-amide-M'(terminal) atoms, and this results in orthogonality between the neighboring sigma-spin orbitals and thus ferromagnetic interactions., Feb. 2002, 41, 3, 507, 512, Scientific journal, 10.1021/ic010731f

In the reduction reactions, control of the pH of the reaction mixture was essential, and the pH of the solution was kept during the reaction at 3 and at 5-6 for hydrogenations of 1 and 2, respectively. The delocalized diiminate chelate ring is in protonation-deprotonation equilibrium with the beta diimine form and the pK(a) of the equilibrium for 2 was determined to be 9.0 for 2a (o-xylylene bridged complex), 9.3 for 26 (m-xylylene bridged complex), and 10.0 for 2c (p-xylylene bridged complex). The appropriate pH values in the hydrogenation reactions were based on the pK(a)'s.

The compound crystallizes in orthorhombic space group Ccm2(1) with cell parameters at -80-degrees-C, a=21.90(1), b=20.28(1), c=19.63(1) angstrom, V =8718(1) angstrom3, Z=8. The crystal consists of the cationic dinuclear unit [Ni2(mu-Cl)Cl2(L)]+, the counter anion ClO4-, and water of crystallization. In [Ni2(mu-Cl)Cl2(L)]+, three chloride ions and two nickel ions are alternately arranged in an almost linear manner, and two cyclam rings with the most stable trans-III type conformation are arranged in a face-to-face manner. This cationic dinuclear unit is further connected to each other by sharing the terminal Cl ligand to form pseudo one-dimensional chain structure of the ...Cl-Ni-Cl-Ni-Cl... type. However, one of the Cl atoms which bridges the dinuclear units is statistically disordered at two positions along the chain and thereby the repeating unit in the chain is a chloro bridged dimer of the dinucleating ligand complex. The neighboring Ni-Cl distances range from 2.568(4) to 2.855(4) angstrom. The temperature dependent magnetic behavior in the range of 25-300 K has been interpreted by the usual Heisenberg-Dirac-Van Vleck model, assuming that only three Ni(II) ions in {Ni2Cl2(L)}2 are paramagnetic. The best fit parameters were J = -48.2(3) and J' = - 11.2(3) cm-1 for H=- 2J(S1.S1') -2J' (S1.S2)., Aug. 1994, 67, 8, 2130, 2135, Scientific journal

When p-xylene-alpha,alpha'-diol was used instead of monoalcohols, the tetranuclear (M4O6) units were linked by p-xylene-alpha,alpha'-diol to form the 1D coordination polymers [M-4(HLn)(2)(OAc)(6)(p-HOH2C6H4CH2OH)](m) {M = Ni, n = 1 (3a), 2 (3b); M = Co, n = 1 (6a), 2 (6b)). The structures of 1-6 were determined by X-ray crystallography and consist of centrosymmetrical tetranuclear (M4O6)) face-shared defective double-cubane cores supported by two monodeprotonated (HLn-) ligands. The mixed-metal letranuclear complexes [Ni2.2Co1.8(HL1)(2)(OAc)(6)(MeOH)(2)] (7) and [Mn1.7Ni2.3(HL1)(2)(OAc)(5)(OMe)(2)] (8) were also synthesized by using e.quimolar amounts of Ni2+ and M2+ (M = Co, Mn) ions. X-ray crystallographic and :fluorescent analyses.revealed that 7 is isomorphous with 1a and 4a and contains.nonstoichiometric amounts of disordered Ni2+ and Co2+ ions in an average ratio of 2.2:1.8 with different occupancies for the two crystallographically independent metal centers.

Detailed magnetostru.ctural analyses on the nickel (1a, 2a, 3a) mid cobalt (4a) complexes with appropriate spin-Hamiltoulau. models showed that both iferro- and antiferromagnetic spin exchange interactions were involved within the tetranuclear units, and their extent depends on the combination of the metal ions and -the ligand systems in a delicate fashion., Oct. 2014, 29, 5021, 5033, Scientific journal, 10.1002/ejic.201402536

Each thiacalix[n]arene possesses donor atoms both on the lower rim position (phenol oxygen atoms) and on the cyclic framework itself (-S-, -SO-, or -SO2-), and behaves as a multidentate multi-nucleating ligand to support the formation of a phenoxo-bridged cluster core. For first row transition metals, calix[4]arenes offer a platform for assembling the metal ions via four fac-tridentate coordination sites, and planar tri- and tetra-nuclear clusters are formed. A larger and more flexible thiacalix[6]arene could bind up to five metal ions inside the coordination cavity formed when it adopts the pinched cone conformation. Sulfonylcalix[4]arene shows a strong affinity to lanthanide ions through phenoxo and sulfonyl oxygen donors, and yields a variety of cluster compounds involving di-, tetra-, octa-, and dodeca-nuclear cores, achieved by controlled synthetic conditions.

CaY2Ge3O10 is stable at 1300 degrees C, while CaY2Ge4O12 decomposes into a melt and CaY2Ge3O10 at approximately 1250 degrees C. We obtained single crystals of CaY2Ge3O10 by cooling a sample with an initial composition of Ca:Y:Ge = 1:2:8 from 1300 degrees C with a rate of -6 degrees C/h. The crystal structure of CaY2Ge3O10 was determined by single crystal X-ray diffraction. CaY2Ge3O10 crystallizes in the monoclinic space group P2(1/)c with a = 6.0906(8), b = 6.8329(8), c = 18.752(2) angstrom and beta = 109.140(3)degrees, Z = 4. and R, = 0.029 for I > 2 sigma(I). In the structure of CaY2Ge3O10, Ca and Y atoms are situated disorderly in three 7-fold coordination sites between isolated Germanate groups of triple GeO4 tetrahedra, Ge3O10. The structural formula of CaY2Ge3O10 is expressed as (Ca0.45Y0.55)(Ca0.46Y0.54)(Ca0.09Y0.91)Ge3O10. The crystal structure of CaY2Ge4O12 was analyzed by the Rietveld method for the X-ray powder diffraction pattern. CaY2Ge4O12 is isotypic with SrNa2P4O12, crystallizing in the orthorhonibic space group P4/nbm, a = 9.99282(6), c = 5.06701(4) angstrom, Z = 2, R-wp = 0.092, R-p = 0.067.

• Not Refereed, PURE AND APPLIED CHEMISTRY, INT UNION PURE APPLIED CHEMISTRY, Single-chain magnets constructed with a twisting arrangement of the easy-plane of iron(II) ions, Takashi Kajiwara; Hiroki Tanaka; Masahiro Yamashita, A novel class of single-chain magnets (SCMs), catena-[Fe-II(ClO4)(2){Fe-III(bpca)(2)}]ClO4 and its derivative, were synthesized using the spin-carrier components possessing hard-axis anisotropy (or easy-plane anisotropy, D > 0). The easy-axis-type anisotropy of whole molecules of these compounds, which is essential for the formation of SCMs, arises from the twisted arrangement of easy-planes of Fe(H) along the chain axis. Alternating high-spin Fe(H) and low-spin Fe(Ill) chain complexes behave as an SCM with a typical frequency-dependent ac susceptibility which obeys Arrhenius law. Below 7 K, catena-[Fe-II(ClO4)(2){Fe-III(bpca)(2)}]ClO4 showed a short-range spin-ordering even in zero external field in a time range of Mossbauer spectroscopy as well as the muon-spin-relaxation (pSR) spectroscopy. Since the easy-axis-type magnetic anisotropy originated from the structural motif of the twisting arrangement of Fe(II) ions, the overall magnetic property was very sensitive to the small structural changes arising from adsorption/desorption of the crystal solvents, and catena-[Fe-II(ClO4)(2){Fe-III(bpca)(2)}]ClO4 showed a reversible change in magnetism that has been referred to as "a magnetic sponge". In its derivative, controls of the molecular structure, the arrangement of chains in the crystal, and magnetic properties both in dc and ac susceptibility have been achieved by the introduction of methyl group on a bpca(-) ligand, which bridges and mediates the magnetic interaction of the adjoining Fe(II)/Fe(III) ions., Nov. 2008, 80, 11, 2297, 2308, Scientific journal, 10.1351/pac200880112297

The structure of these paramagnetic compounds consists of identically oriented linear trinuclear clusters in a trigonal system with an easy direction c∥Zn–Ln–Zn array and a hard plane ab⊥Zn–Ln–Zn array. The magnitude of MCE measured for c∥H was significantly greater than MCE for ab∥H at a wide temperature range regardless of the studied SMM. Therefore, the rotating magnetocaloric effect (RMCE) was evaluated. The maxima of the magnetic entropy change for RMCE were obtained at 2.0 K and moderate fields: 3.9 J K⁻¹ kg⁻¹ at µ₀H = 1.3 T for Ln = Tb and 3.3 J K⁻¹ kg⁻¹ at µ₀H = 1.1 T for Ln = Dy. The relative efficiency of RMCE compared to the MCE measured in c∥H was as high as 99% at low magnetic fields., 05 Oct. 2022, 12, 1, Scientific journal, 10.1038/s41598-022-20893-2

Kawamata; N. Sugawara; M. Uesaka; N. Kaneko; T. Kajiwara; H. Yamane; K. Koyama; K. Kudo; N. Kobayashi; Y. Koike, We have succeeded in growing large-size single crystals of the quasi-one-dimensional S = 1/2 spin-dimer system Pb2V3O9 by the floating-zone method, and also investigated the thermal conductivity, specific heat and magnetization in magnetic fields. In high magnetic fields, it has been found that the suppression of the thermal conductivity by the application of magnetic field is relaxed. This behavior is caused by the enhancement of the thermal conductivity due to triplons and/or phonons owing to the extension of the mean free path of triplons and/or phonons in the Bose-Einstein condensed (BEC) state of field-induced triplons. We have estimated the critical field H-c(T) between the BEC state of triplons and the gapped normal state from the thermal conductivity, specific heat and magnetization measurements and obtained the value of the critical exponent phi similar to 2.0 in [H-c(T)-H-c(0)] proportional to T-phi using H-c(T)'s at low temperatures., 2009, 150, International conference proceedings, 10.1088/1742-6596/150/4/042087

The compound crystallizes in a triclinic system (space group P1) with lattice parameters of a=492.4(2)pm, b=568.3(3)pm, c=568.5(3)pm, α=75.400(9)°, β=89.974(9)° and γ=81.261(9)° at 293(2)K. The structure consists of an alternate stack of a CdI_2-type CoO_2 triangular sheet and a layer of Ca atoms, showing great similarity to that of β-Na_xCoO_2 (x〜0.67). However, the Ca atom has four crystallographic sites with different occupation probabilities, leading to the structure formula Ca_<1.87(5)>Co_4O_8 (Ca_<0.47(1)>CoO_2). Due to a low bulk density as well as a small number of hole carriers, equivalent to the nominal valence state of Co ions close to 3.06, a polycrystalline sample of the Caphase exhibits much higher electrical resistivity ρ=680μΩm, relative to that of the Na-phase ρ=1.2μΩm, with a large positive Seebeck coefficient of S=145μV/K at 300K., 01 Jan. 2009, 117, 1361, 42, 46, 10.2109/jcersj2.117.42

For such complexes, we have examined to synthesize new complexes on the basis of the new molecular design, and to investigate the dynamic magnetic properties employing new instrument for angle-resolved ac susceptibility measurements. We synthesized mixed metal tri-nuclear complexes with the combination of lanthanide and diamagnetic divalent metal ions such as Zn(II) and Mg(II), and also the mono-lanthanide complexes. We found that the strong axial-crystal field enhances the slow magnetic relaxation phenomena, however, we also found that several axial symmetry around magnetic principal axis, which was parallel to molecular axis, accelerates the relaxation due to slight mixing of the ground doublet states., kaken

A.Oligomers of triruthenium cluster [Ru_3(O)(CH_3COO)_6L_3]^. We found the existence of"Charge Transfer Isomer"in the asymmetric mixrd valence state of the pyrazine bridged cluster dimer, and studied their dynamic behavior in intramolecular elecron transfer by means of IR spectro-electrochemical method. The fact that"charge transfer isomers"exist in a single oxidation statte of mixed valence state is extremely rare. Rate constants of intramolecular electron transfer within each isomer, which results in the interconversion of the charge transfer isomer, were on the IR time scale. These results have been published in Angew.Chem.Int., 43, 1376-1381 (2004). We prepared linear oligomers of the cluster, pyrazine bridged trimer and tetramer. These oligomers were designed specifically to show multiple one electron reversible redox waves in their cyclic voltammograms. The trimer and tetramer showed, respecively, 11-step/12-electron and 14-step/15=electron reversible redox waves. These results have been published in Bull.Chem.Soc.Jpn.,78,591-598(2005). B.Use of Pt(II)to metal dative bond, Previously we had reported that carbon donor ligands exerted strong ligand field for platinum(II) ion, and that such platinum(II)complexes often form strong platinum to metal dative bonds. Using this idea, we prepared many of nano-sized cluster complexes with the platinum to metal dative bond. Typical examples are a tetranuclear platinum-rhodium-rhodium-platinum cluster complex and a one dimensional linear complex in which silver(I) and platinum(II) are alternately arranged. Manuscript of this study for publication is in preparation. C.Use of metal cluster forming ligand. We found in this study that p-tert-butyl-thiacalix[6]arene and p-tert-butyl-sulfonylcalix[4]arene act as cluster forming ligand. p-tert-butyl-sulfonylcalix[4]arene reacted with an excess of copper acetate to give a nano-sized decacopper cluster complex. And we found that a ferromagnetic interzcton operated in this cluster. This has been published in J.Am.Chem.Soc.,124,11274(2002). p-Tert-butyl-sulfonylcalix[4]arene reacted with lanthanoide ions to afford nano-sized compound with wheel like structure which sonsists of eight lanthanoide ions and four callixarene ligands. This study has been published in Angew.Chem.Int.,43,1382-1385(2004)., kaken

In this work, we have proposed the mechanism of the slow relaxation of the magnetization for each lanthanide(III) ion, and synthesized several single-molecular magnets including Ce(III), Nd(III), Tb(III), Dy(III), Er(III), or Yb(III). Due to the characteristic 4f electrons, lanthanide(III) ions have large total angular momentum J and magnetic anisotropy. In the anisotropic ligand field, J ground state splits into Jz sub-states and in some cases, the Jz sub-states which direct along the z-axis were stabilized compared with other sub-state. This situation is known as Ising-type magnetic anisotropy. We have proposed how to design such an Ising-type anisotropy for each Ln(III) ion, and investigated the detail of slow magnetic relaxation features of the synthesized Ln(III) complexes., kaken

The application of neutron scattering on the soft materials such as SMMs was rather rare, and we have first explored the complexes which show SMM behavior being suitable for such a measurement. After detailed study of magnetic properties of candidates, we have synthesized two samples of which all hydrogen atoms were exchanged with deuterium (C40D39N8O11S2Zn2Ln、>98% atom D), and neutron scattering experiments were carried out at Cold-Neutron Disk-Chopper Spectrometer : AMATERAS, J-PARC, Tokai-mura.
