Abstract

Abstract : A mononuclear pentacoordinate Co(ii ) complex exhibits weak ferromagnetic interactions through a Co⋯π superexchange pathway. Abstract : [Co II (dpt)(NCS)2 ], where dpt = bis(3-aminopropyl)amine, was identified as a pentacoordinate Co II compound showing field-induced slow relaxation of magnetization. Furthermore, intermolecular ferromagnetic coupling mediated by Co⋯π non-covalent contacts, where π orbitals originate from the thiocyanato ligand, is reported for the first time.
