| Effect of solvent exchange/absence on magnetic and structural properties of microporous metal-organic framework MOF-76(Gd) has been performed. Three compounds have been prepared and characterized: as synthesized MOF-76(Gd)-DMF, which containing DMF (N,N'-dimethylformamide) and H2O molecules in the cavity system, activated complex without solvents, MOF-76(Gd) and water exchanged sample MOF-76(Gd)-H2O. The structural study showed that compounds undergo structural changes after activation/exchange processes. Changes were mainly observed in the magnetic properties and distances between Gd...Gd ions: 4.718 Å for MOF-76(Gd)-DMF, 4.326 Å for MOF-76(Gd)-H2O and 4.296 Å for MOF-76(Gd). The magnetic properties of the samples were studied by magnetic susceptibility χM(T) and magnetization M(H). The low positive value of the Weiss constant, Θ = 1.54 K in compound MOF-76(Gd)-DMF shows on a very weak ferromagnetic interaction. On the contrary, the negative values of Θ in complexes MOF-76(Gd) (-5.58 K) and MOF-76(Gd)-H2O (-6.23 K) confirm the existence of antiferromagnetic exchange interaction between Gd(III) ions. |
