Ferrimagnetic ordering of one-dimensional N,N'-dicyanoquinone diimine (DCNQI) electron transfer salts with porphyrinatomanganese(II)*

Journal ArticleThe redox reaction between N,N'-dicyanoquinone diimines (DCNQIs) and porphyrinatomanganese(II) produced electron transfer salts (ETSs), [MnIIITMesP]+[DMeO-DCNQI]-. 1 (MnIIITMesP=meso-tetrakis(2,4,6- trimethylphenyl)porphyrinatomanganese(III), DMeO-DCNQI=2,5-dimethoxy-N,N'-dicyanoquinone diimine) and [MnTIIIMesP]+[DMe-DCNQI]-. 2 (DMe-DCNQI=2,5-dimethyl-N,N'-dicyanoquinone diimine), having uniform chain structures that have been structurally and magnetically characterised
