Ferrimagnetic Mixed-Metal Assemblies {NBu4[MFe(ox)3]}x

Abstract
Hetero-metal assemblies, (NBu4=tetra(n-butyl)ammonium ion; ox=oxalate ion; M(II)=Ni(1), Fe(2), Mn(3), Zn(4)) have been synthesized by the use of [Fe(ox)3]3- as the building block. 1 and 2 are ferrimagnets of TN=43 and 28 K, respectively. 3 is an antiferromagnet. 4 shows a paramagnetic behavior.
