Magnetic properties of [Fe(Cp*)2]+ salts of M(dmit)2 and M(dmio)2 (M = Ni, Pd and Pt) anions

The synthesis and the magnetic properties of decamethylferrocenium salts of the planar radical anions [M(dmix)2]−, where M = Ni, Pd and Pt; and dmix = dmio and dmit, are presented. s series of charge transfer salts, the magnetic behavior can be dominated by antiferromagnetic (AFM) or ferromagnetic (FM) interactions, depending on the metallic element from the dithiolate complex and on the crystal structure.
