文摘

For the first time, a new fabrication method for manipulating the ferromagnetic property of molecular magnets by forming wormlike micelles in magnetic-ionic-liquid (mag-IL) complexes is reported. The ferromagnetism of the mag-IL complexes was enhanced 4-fold because of the formation of wormlike micelles, presenting new evidence for the essence of magnetism generation at a molecular level. Characteristics such as morphology and magnetic properties of the wormlike micelle gel were investigated in detail by cryogenic transmission electron microscopy (Cryo-TEM), rheological measurements, circular dichroism (CD), FT-IR spectra, and the superconducting quantum interference device method (SQUID). An explanation of ferromagnetism elevation from the view of the molecular (ionic) distribution is also given. For the changes of magnetic properties (ferromagnetism elevation) in the wormlike micelle systems, the ability of CTAFe in magnetizing AzoNa₄ (or AzoH₄) can be ascribed to an interplay of the magnetic [FeCl₃Br]^{鈭?/sup> ions both in the Stern layer and in the cores of the wormlike micelles. Formation of colloidal aggregates, i.e., wormlike micelles, provides a new strategy to tune the magnetic properties of novel molecular magnets.}
