Slow Magnetic Relaxation in a Co^II–Y^III Single‐Ion Magnet with Positive Axial Zero‐Field Splitting

Abstract

A magnetic Co-production: The complex [Co(μ-L)(μ-OAc)Y(NO3)2] (see structure O red, N blue, C gray), in which the CoII ion exhibits a D value of approximately +45 cm−1, as determined by magnetic and inelastic neutron scattering experiments, exhibits slow magnetic relaxation and single-ion magnet behavior.
