Abstract

A tetragonal polymorph of [Ni(HF 2)(pyz) 2]PF 6 (designated β) is isomorphic to its SbF 6-congener at 295 K and features linear Ni-FHF-Ni pillars. Enhancements in the spin exchange (J FHF = 7.7 K), Néel temperature (T N = 7 K), and critical field (B c = 24 T) were found relative to monoclinic α-PF 6. DFT reveals that the HF 2 - bridges are significantly better mediators of magnetic exchange than pyz (J pyz), where J FHF ≈ 3J pyz, thus leading to quasi-1D behavior. Spin density resides on all atoms of the HF 2 - bridge whereas N-donor atoms of the pyz ring bear most of the density.
