[Ni3O(TBPLA)(H2O)](ClO4)4(H2O)6 [TBPLA=(S)-1,1',1''-2,4,6-trimethylbenzene-1,3,5-triyl)-tris(methylene)-tris-(pyrrolidine-2-carboxylate)] was found to possibly display multiferroic property (the coexistence of ferroelectricity and ferromagnetism). The magnetic property of this compound was studied and no magnetic hysteresis loop was found probably due to an intrinsic fluctuation for the magnetic exchange energy.
The solvothermal reaction (D2O) of 2,6-dideuterium-4-cyanopyridine with ZnCl2 in the presence of NaN3 offers a novel complex Zn(OD)(C6H2D2N4) (1) in which Zn has a distorted tetrahedron composed of two N atoms from one tetrazoyl group and pyridyl group and two O atoms from two deuteratohydroxy OD groups.
