Magnetic properties of two coordination isomeric cobalt(ii) single-ion magnets

Abstract

Two isomeric Co(II) complexes with the same general molecular formulas of [Co(napy)2(NO3)2] (napy = 1, 8-naphthyridine) have been synthesized. X-ray singlecrystal structural determination demonstrates that two compounds exhibit highly irregular...

Cobalt(ii) coordination polymers with single-ion magnet property

“…51 To date, numerous two-to eight-coordinated Co(II) SIMs with diverse structures, including linear, tetrahedral, square antiprism, pyramidal, square pyramidal, trigonal prismatic, octahedral, pentagonal bipyramidal geometries, have been successfully synthesized and characterized. [52][53][54][55][56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63][64][65] However, it remains a major synthetic challenge to incorporate specific coordination geometries into coordination polymers achieving remarkable magnetic anisotropy toward high-performance SIMs.…”
