Abstract
Ionic triads formed by [NiII(bipy)3]2+ (bipy = 2,2′-bipyridyl) and diamagnetic [MIV(CN)8]4- (M = Mo and W) were prepared and structurally characterized. The two compounds are isostructural and their structure consists of a three-dimensional hydrogen-bonded framework where cation-anion interactions occur through short contacts M-CN⋯H-C(bipy). Before irradiation, the Mo analogue behaves as paramagnet with small intermolecular interactions between the [NiII(bipy)3]2+ cations. Upon irradiation with visible light, it exhibits a reversible photomagnetic effect, which is interpreted in terms of the formation of paramagnetic [MoV(CN)8]3- and [NiII(bipy)2(bipy-{radical dot})]+ due to the outer-sphere electron transfer.
