Very Large Ising‐Type Magnetic Anisotropy in a Mononuclear Ni^II Complex

Abstract

Complementarity between different techniques (magnetization, HF-HFEPR, FDMRS) and angular-overlap-model calculations allow the precise determination of the spin-Hamiltonian parameters in an isolated octahedral NiII complex (see structure), which exhibits the largest easy axis magnetic anisotropy reported to date (D=−10.1 cm−1, E/|D|=0.02).
