A tool to calculate the Heisenberg couplings in FeIII(μ2+n-O)FeIII systems
Since FeIII represent a quasi spin-only state, magnetic interactions between these cations can be described by a Heisenberg-Hamiltonian. Using the angular overlap model (AOM), Weihe and Güdel [1] proposed in 1997 a semi-empirical formula for singly oxo-briged FeIII dimers. In 2001 Werner et al. [2] investigated singly and multiply oxo-briged FeIII dimers in a different span of core-ligand distances and coordination angles.
wxJFinder combines the research of [1] and [2] by assuming the AOM and taking into account the experimental data presented in these works, thus providing access to many different coordination geometries in oxo-brigded FeIII systems.
Features (wxJFinder 1.1):
- calculation of Heisenberg coupling constants J (in '-2J' notation) for FeIII(μ2+n-O)FeIII systems
- code written in C++, usage of wxWidgets [3] to create a cross-platform GUI and OpenGL [4] to display full 3D views of the compound
- import of stuctures in XMol's xyz format [5]
- export of results as plain text, ISODOR [6], or POV-Ray files [7]
- easy examination of the 3D structure of the compound by mouse
