Ring-Opening Polymerisation of Low-Strain Nickelocenophanes: Synthesis and Magnetic Properties of Polynickelocenes with Carbon and Silicon Main Chain Spacers.
in Chemistry (Weinheim an der Bergstrasse, Germany)
| Description | New Magnetic Organometallic polymers have been prepared. Solid state magnetic measurements have been preformed, the homopolymers behave as simple paramagnets at temperatures greater than 50 K, with significant antiferromagnetic coupling that is notably larger in carbon-bridged compared to the disilyl-bridged analogues. However, the behaviour of the polynickelocenes deviates substantially from the Curie-Weiss law at low temperatures due to considerable zero-field splitting. A paper in internationally peer review journal has been published. |
