description

A mononuclear CoII single-molecule magnet suitable for click chemistry was investigated. [M(oda)(aterpy)] complexes (oda2– = oxodiacetate, aterpy = 4′-azido-2,2′:6′,2″-terpyridine) with M = MnII, ZnII, and CoII were synthesized as azide-functionalized building blocks for the copper-catalyzed azide–alkyne cycloaddition reaction. The required structural integrity of the complexes in solution was proven in great detail by using ESI-MS and NMR spectroscopy. For the six-coordinate [Co(oda)(aterpy)] complex, single-molecule magnet behavior was confirmed with an effective energy barrier of 4.2 cm–1.
