Mixed Valent Molecular Ferromagnets

本文的目的是合成和表征新型分子铁磁体。三碘化二溴茂烯是本合成项目的目标分子。它是一个有吸引力的分子铁磁性候选者，因为配合物是混合价的，并且这种铁磁体的电子结构符合理论预测的电子结构构型。此外，固态结构被预测为具有比其他已知分子铁磁体更紧密的近邻接触的堆叠阵列。该项目将包括研究二溴新铈的导电性和磁性与掺杂剂（包括碘和五氟化砷）浓度的关系。

The author of this SGER proposal aims to synthesize and characterize novel molecular ferromagnets. Binickelocenium triiodide is the target molecule for this synthesis project. It is an attractive candidate for molecular ferromagnetism since the complex is mixed-valent, and the electronic structure of this ferromagnet matches theoretically predicted electronic structure configurations. Also, the solid state structure is predicted to be a stacked-array with nearest neighbor contacts closer than other known molecular ferromagnets. The project will include studies of the conductivity and magnetism of binickelocenium as a function of concentration of dopants to include iodine and arsenic pentafluoride.
