The magnetostructural correlation of the hexakis-dmso cobalt(ii) complex, [Co(dmso)](BPh) (dmso: dimethylsulfoxide), was investigated by single-crystal X-ray diffraction study and magnetic measurements. The magnetic analysis concluded the negative Δ value (H = Δ(L - 2/3) + E(L - L) - (3/2)κλL·S + β[-(3/2)κL + gS]·H (u = x, y, z)), and this was explained by the tetragonal elongation of the octahedral geometry. The magnetostructural correlation was ascertained by both the angular overlap model calculation and the density functional theory calculation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
