Hydrogen-bonding interactions and magnetic relaxation dynamics in tetracoordinated cobalt(<scp>ii</scp>) single-ion magnets

Abstract

Three tetracoordinated cobalt(ii) complexes with a series of unsymmetrical bidentate ligands were synthesized and crystallographically characterized. Although their static magnetic properties are similar, their dynamic magnetic properties differ drastically depending indirectly on intermolecular hydrogen-bonding interactions.
