Self-assembly of artificial nanoscale units into superstructures is a prevalent topic in science. In biomimicry, scientists attempt to develop artificial self-assembled nanoarchitectures. However, despite extensive efforts, the preparation of nanoarchitectures with superior physical properties remains a challenge. For example, one of the major topics in the field of molecular magnetism is the development of high-spin (HS) molecules. Here, we report a cyanide-bridged magnetic nanocage composed of 18 HS iron(III) ions and 24 low-spin iron(II) ions. The magnetic iron(III) centres are ferromagnetically coupled, yielding the highest ground-state spin number (S = 45) of any molecule reported to date.
人工纳米级单元自组装成超结构是科学领域中一个普遍的话题。在仿生学中,科学家们试图开发人工自组装纳米结构。然而,尽管付出了巨大努力,制备具有优异物理性能的纳米结构仍然是一个挑战。例如,分子磁学领域的一个主要课题是高自旋(HS)分子的开发。在此,我们报道了一种由18个HS铁(III)离子和24个低自旋铁(II)离子组成的氰基桥连磁性纳米笼。磁性铁(III)中心通过铁磁耦合,产生了迄今为止报道的任何分子中最高的基态自旋数(S = 45)。
