Field-Assisted Slow Magnetic Relaxation in a Six-Coordinate Co(II)–Co(III) Complex with Large Negative Anisotropy

Posted on 2017-05-26 - 20:09
The reaction of Co­(CH3COO)2·4H2O with the Schiff base ligand LH4 derived from o-vanillin and tris­(hydroxymethyl)­aminomethane produces the dinuclear mixed-valence complex [CoIICoIII(LH2)2(CH3COO)­(H2O)]­(H2O)3 (1), which has been investigated using IR spectroscopy, X-ray crystallography, temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility, magnetization, HFEPR spectroscopy, and ac susceptibility measurements at various frequencies, temperatures, and external magnetic fields. The structure of 1 consists of neutral molecules in which two cobalt ions with distorted octahedral geometries, CoIIO6 and CoIIIN2O4, are bridged by two deprotonated −CH2O groups of the two LH22– ligands. 1 completes a series with Cl, Br, NO3, and NCS anions published before by different authors. Low-temperature HFEPR measurements reveal that the ground electronic state of the Co­(II) center in 1 is a highly anisotropic Kramers doublet; the effective g values of 7.18, 2.97, and 1.96 are frequency-independent over the frequency ranges 200–630, 200–406, and 200–300 GHz for the highest, intermediate, and lowest geff values, respectively. The two lower values were not seen at higher frequencies because the magnetic field was not high enough. Temperature-dependent magnetic susceptibility and field-dependent magnetization data confirm high magnetic anisotropy of the easy axis type. Complex 1 behaves as a single-ion magnet under a small applied external field and demonstrates two relaxation modes that strongly depend on the applied static dc field. The observation of multiple relaxation pathways clearly distinguishes 1 from the Cl and Br analogues.
