Theoretical Study of the Magnetic Properties of Thiocyanato-Bridged Binuclear Ni(Ⅱ)Complexes
Based on the DFT-BS method,the magnetic properties of the μ1,3-NCS bridged dinuclear Ni(Ⅱ)complex[Ni2(L2)2(μ1,3-NCS)2(NCS)2]were investigated,and the Jcalc values calculated at the B1P86/def2-TZVP(-f)level were closest to the experimental values,which can be used to characterize its magnetic properties.Magnetic orbital analysis shows that the magnetic orbitals consist of the paramagnetic center divalent nickel ion 3dx2-y2and 3dz2 orbitals and the π-type molecular orbitals of the bridging ligand,which realize their superexchange interactions through the Ni-N-C-S-Ni channels.Meanwhile,the magneto-structural correlation was further investigated by varying the distance between two paramagnetic center Ni(Ⅱ)ions,and it was found that there was a linear correlation between the magnetic coupling constants of μ1,3-NCS bridged binuclear nickel complexes and the Ni-Ni distance,and with the increase of the Ni-Ni distance,the Mulliken spin density of the paramagnetic center Ni(Ⅱ)ions increased,and its magnetic coupling constant Jcalc gradually decreases.
