Cobalt(<scp>II</scp>)–Copper(<scp>II</scp>) Bimetallic Chains as a New Class of Single‐Chain Magnets

Abstract

An oxamato-bridged CoIICuII chain compound has been obtained via the self-assembly of mononuclear bis-bidentate copper(II) anionic building blocks and cobalt(II) cations. It is the first example of a heterobimetallic ferrimagnetic chain that incorporates slow magnetic relaxation behavior (see Figure).
