Description

Density functional theory (DFT) calculations on the tetranuclear Ni(II) complex [Ni4(C5H11O3)4 (CH3CN)4](NO3)4.1.33NaNO3, have been made in order to explain the exchange magnetic phenomenon. Two ferromagnetic exchange coupling constants were found (J1=+13.27cm-1 and J2=+12.86cm-1) and these values are close to each other and consistent with the structural parameters of the complex
