Magnetic Properties of a Binary Mixture of Paramagnetic Metallomesogens
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 10 February 2011
Abstract
Magnetic properties of a binary mixture of mesogenic tetraphenylporphyrin Cu(II) and VO(IV) complexes are reported. These mesogens show two lamellar mesophases (DL and DLC) and a binary phase diagram revealed that each mesophase is miscible. The magnetic properties were investigated by magnetization measurements using SQUID. It was found that the magnetization of 1:1 mixture (mole% base) was larger than those of the pure compounds below ca. 190 K, whilst 1:3 and 3:1 mixtures showed the decrease of magnetization in the full range of temperature in which the measurements were carried out. It was shown that χ−1 vs. T plots did not obey Curie-Weiss law. For the VO(IV) complex and 1:1 mixture, stepwise changes could be recognized at the temperatures corresponding to the phase transitions. 1:1 mixture as well as Cu(II) and VO(IV) complexes totally involve antiferromagnetic interaction. However, ferromagnetic behavior in χ−1 vs. T plots was seen about DL - DLC phase transition.
