M(hfac)2(TTF–py)2 (M = CuII, MnII; hfac = hexafluoroacetylacetonate and TTF–py = 4-(2-tetrathiafulvalenyl-ethenyl)pyridine): a new approach for π–d interactions in conducting and magnetic molecule based materials

The new coordination complexes M(hfac)2(TTF–py)2 (M = CuII, MnII) in which the paramagnetic transition metal and the organic donor are covalently linked through delocalized π system are prepared aiming with a new approach for the occurrence of π–d interactions in conducting and magnetic molecule based materials. The structures, magnetic properties and electrochemical properties were investigated. X-ray structure analysis revealed its structure is favorable for electrical conductivity.
