Modeling Ferro- and Antiferromagnetic Interactions in Metal-Organic Coordination Networks

Klaus Kern, Sebastian Stepanow, Tzu-Chun Tseng, Violetta Sessi, Alexander Langner, Nasiba Abdurakhmanova, Christopher Seiji Kley

Magnetization curves of two rectangular metalorganic coordination networks formed by the organic ligand TCNQ (7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinodimethane) and two different (Mn and Ni) 3d transition metal atoms [M(3d)] show marked differences that are explained using ...

Structural Analysis and Electronic Properties of Negatively Charged TCNQ: 2D Networks (TCNQ)(2)Mn Assembled on Cu(100)

Klaus Kern, Tzu-Chun Tseng

A compound two-dimensional monolayer mixing Mn atoms and 7,7,8,8-tetracyanoquinoclimethane (TCNQ) molecules was synthesized by supramolecular assembly on a Cu(100) surface under ultrahigh-vacuum conditions. The interactions in the Mn(TCNQ)(2) network and i ...
