Abstract

Hydrothermal synthesis under basic conditions has given a new cluster compound, Ni-7(OH)(8)(ox)(3)(pip)(3) (ox = oxalate; pip = piperazine). This hybrid material comprises inorganic Ni-7(OH)(8) clusters, which have a vertex-shared dicubane structure. These units are held together in a 3-dimensional coordination network by organic bridging ligands. Magnetic susceptibility studies suggest a ferromagnetic coupling within the cluster and an antiferromagnetic interaction between neighbouring Ni-7 units. At low temperatures the material appears to undergo a magnetic phase transition to an ordered antiferromagnetic state with T-N = 17 K.
