All of these compounds are isostructural and crystallize in the monoclinic space group C2/m, as found by X-ray structure analysis. Their structure consists of an eclipsed stacking of the bimetallic oxalate-based extended layers separated by layers of organometallic cations. These salts show spontaneous magnetization below To, which corresponds to the presence of ferro-, ferri-, or canted antiferromagnetism. Compounds in which the paramagnetic deca-methylferrocenium is used instead of the diamagnetic decamethylcobaltocenium are good examples of chemically constructed magnetic multilayers with alternating ferromagnetic and paramagnetic layers. The physical properties of this series have been thoroughly studied by means of magnetic measurements and ESR and Mossbauer spectroscopy. We have found that the two layers are electronically quasiindependent. As a consequence, the bulk properties of these magnets have not been significantly affected by the insertion of a paramagnetic layer of S = 1/2 spins in between the extended layers. In fact, the critical temperatures remain unchanged even when comparing [MCp*2]+ derivatives with [XR4]+ compounds (X = N, P; R = Ph, nPr, nBu). Nevertheless, the presence of the paramagnetic layer has been shown to have some influence on the hysteresis loops of these compounds. In the same context, the spin polarization of the paramagnetic units (which arises from the internal magnetic field created by the bimetallic layers in the ordered state) has been observed by Mossbauer and ESR spectroscopy.
