Abstract

ac Susceptometry has been used to study a number of magnetic molecular solids including a new compound, Mn(II) octaethyltetraazaporphyrin, α-MnOETAP, and decamethylmanganocenium tetracyanoethenide, Mn(Cp*)2•TCNE, a previously reported molecule-based ferromagnet. Both of these compounds exhibit signatures of ferromagnetism including significant hysteresis below 2 K and rapidly increasing χT (where χ is the molar susceptibility) with decreasing temperature. However, their ac susceptibility data show relatively strong dependence of χ′ and χ″ on the frequency of the applied field, indicating a spinglass state. Other molecular ferromagnetic solids examined show much less sensitivity. These studies indicate that the standard practice of characterization by dc and ac susceptometry at a single frequency are clearly insufficient for identifying the magnetic state of a molecular solid.
