Abstract
The hexacoordinate Co(II) complex [Co(neo)2(cin)][BPh4]·½Me2CO (1·½Me2CO) containing trans-cinnamic acid (Hcin) and neocuproine (neo) was prepared. The compound 1·½Me2CO was characterized via single-crystal X-ray analysis, FT-IR spectroscopy, and magnetic measurements. The coordination polyhedron of the complex cation adopts a deformed octahedron shape, and cinnamate exhibits a bidentate mode of coordination, which is unusual for mononuclear Co(II) cinnamate complexes. The analysis of DC magnetic measurements with zero-field splitting (ZFS) spin Hamiltonian revealed large magnetic anisotropy defined by the axial ZFS parameter D = +53.2 cm−1. AC susceptibility measurements revealed the slow relaxation of magnetization under the applied field; thus, 1·½Me2CO behaves as a field-induced single-molecule magnet. The analysis of magnetic properties was also supported by CASSCF/NEVPT2 calculations.
期刊介绍:
Magnetochemistry (ISSN 2312-7481) is a unique international, scientific open access journal on molecular magnetism, the relationship between chemical structure and magnetism and magnetic materials. Magnetochemistry publishes research articles, short communications and reviews. Our aim is to encourage scientists to publish their experimental and theoretical results in as much detail as possible. Therefore, there is no restriction on the length of the papers. The full experimental details must be provided so that the results can be reproduced.
