A one-dimensional nickel(III) chain complex showing ferromagnetic ordering: Crystal structure and magnetic property

A ferromagnetic complex [BrFBzPy][Ni(mnt)(2)], where [BrFBzPy]' = 1-(4'-bromo-2'-fluorobenzyl)pyridinium and mnt(2-) = maleonitriledithiolate, has been prepared. The [Ni(mnt)(2)](-) anions and [BrFBzPy](+) cations form a well-separated stacking column and [Ni(mnt)(2)](-) anions are uniformly spaced to give a one-dimensional (1-D) chain structure. Its magnetization studies shown it ferromagnetically ordered around 2 K.Chemistry, MultidisciplinarySCI(E)9ARTICLE6576-57
