An [Fe32] molecular metal oxide
Abstract
Reaction of [Fe16] with 3-chloropyridine results in formation of an [Fe32] cluster, whose magnetic skeleton describes interwoven triangular and square tilings, demonstrating that pre-formed molecular iron oxides can be used as starting materials to access new species. Magnetic measurements reveal competing antiferromagnetic exchange interactions, resulting in significant spin frustration.
