One-dimensional DABCO hydrogen-bonding chain in a hexagonal channel of magnetic [Ni(dmit)2]†
Abstract
Crystals of (HDABCO+)9(DABCO)[Ni(dmit)2]9ยท6CH3CN were shown to have a space group of R, a hexapetal flower-like channel of [Ni(dmit)2] anions, and a one-dimensional hydrogen bonding chain composed of protonated DABCO and CH3CN molecules. The crystals display antiferromagnetic and ferromagnetic interactions within and between hexamers, respectively, whereas the flexible DABCO-CH3CN array shows dielectric relaxation.
