Abstract
Heat capacity study was performed, for the first time, for [MnF4TPP][TCNE]·0.5MeOH and [Mn(OC14H29)4TPP][TCNE]·MeOH complexes in the 1.8-100 K temperature range under the 0-9 T magnetic field and disclosed new aspects inherent in such strongly coupled charge-transfer Mn-porphyrin-TCNE linear chain systems, where TPP=5,10,15,20-tetraphenylporphyrinato, TCNE=tetracyanoethylene and MeOH=methanol. Any heat capacity anomaly due to the onset of the magnetic long-range-order was not detected, whereas the magnetic phase transition has clearly been observed around 20 K by previous magnetic studies. As these materials are well approximated by quasi-one-dimensional ferrimagnetic Heisenberg chains with very large intrachain spin-spin interactions, the most part of the magnetic entropy is retained above the phase transition temperature as the dominant short-range order. This is the reason why no magnetic phase transition was detected by calorimetry. On the other hand, the big effect observed in the magnetic susceptibility is well accounted for if the formation of magnetic domains is assumed in the crystal.
