The quest for magnets composed of vanadium and 1,4-benzoquinones

The reaction of Vo(CO)6 and representative quinones, A (A = benzoquinone, chloranil, 2,3-dicyano-1,4-naphthoquinone, and dihydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone), form materials of V(A)2 · zCH2Cl2 (z < 0.1) composition, which exhibits antiferromagnetic coupling and do not magnetically order above 5 K.
