Probing magnetic interactions in metal-organic frameworks and coordination polymers microscopically.

摘要: Materials with magnetic interactions between their metal centres play a tremendous role in modern technologies and can exhibit unique physical phenomena. In recent years, metal-organic frameworks coordination polymers have attracted significant attention because structural flexibility enables them to multifunctional properties or states not found the conventional materials, such as oxides. Techniques that enable these materials be probed at atomic scale, long established key for developing other are well studying polymers. This review focuses on studies where been examined using microscopic probes, particular focus neutron scattering density-functional theory, most-well experimental computational techniques understanding detail. paper builds brief introduction describe how probes applied variety of starting select historical examples before discussing multifunctional, low dimensional frustrated magnets. highlights information obtained from studies, including strengths limitations techniques. The article then concludes perspective future this area.
