A series of isostructural metal-carboxylate frameworks [Me2NH2][M-2(bptc)(mu(3)-OH)(H2O)(2)] (H(4)bptc = 3,3',4,4'-biphenyltetracarboxylic acid, M = Co, Co0.83Ni0.17, Co0.55Ni0.45, Co0.13Ni0.87, and Ni for 1-5, respectively) have been synthesized, which feature (4,8)-connected scu topological anionic frameworks constructed by a butterfly-like [M-4(OH)(2)(RCO2)(8)] cluster and have three-dimensional (3D) channels filled by in situ generated [Me2NH2](+) cations. Flame atomic absorption spectroscopy (FAAS), scanning electron microscope energy-disperse X-ray spectroscopy (SEM-EDS), infrared spectroscopy (IR), Raman spectroscopy, and powder X-ray diffraction (PXRD) measurements reveal that 1 can selectively exchange alkali metal cations. Magnetic properties display that monometallic 1 and 5 are characteristic of a antiferromagnet and a ferromagnet, respectively. Incorporation of Co and Ni into the system produced heterometallic compounds 2, 3, and 4. Compound 2 with a very low ratio of Ni to Co shows antiferromagnetic behavior similar to 1, while compounds 3 and 4 with a large ratio of Ni to Co are characteristic of ferrimagnetic-like behavior. This work demonstrates that magnetic tuning from antiferromagnetic, ferrimagnetic-like, to ferromagnetic behaviors can be achieved by heterometallic substitution in isostructural magnetic frameworks.
