Modulation of the magnetic anisotropy of octahedral cobalt(ii) single-ion magnets by fine-tuning the axial coordination microenvironment
Two mononuclear cobalt(II) complexes, with the formulas [Co(2,6-dfba)2(bpp)2(H2O)2]n (1) and [Co(2,6-dfba)2(bpe)2(H2O)2]n (2) (2,6-Hdfba = 2,6-difluorobenzoic acid, bpp = 1,3-bis(4-pyridyl)propane, bpe = 1,2-bis(4-pyridyl)ethylene), have been synthesized by combining Co(II) ions with benzoate derivatives and two homogeneous N-donor ligands, respectively. Constrained by the analogous CoN2O4 coordination spheres, the discretely hexa-coordinated Co(II) cores in both complexes display stretched octahedral geometries. The equatorial environments in both complexes are identical, whereas the axial sites are finely modulated by the different chemical natures of the terminal N-donor ligands. The com…
