This short tutorial review covers recent progress in the field of polynuclear cobalt (II)-based
complexes, which display slow magnetic relaxation at low temperature. Cobalt (II) single …

This chapter provides a detailed overview of some of the primary spectroscopic methods that
have contributed to the current understanding of molecular nanomagnets (MNs). These …

We describe the synthesis, structures, and magnetochemistry of new M4Cl4 cubane-type
cobalt (II) and nickel (II) complexes with the formula [M (μ3-Cl) Cl (HL· S)] 4 (1: M= Co; 2: M …

The reaction between pyridine-2-ylmethanol (HL), anhydrous CoCl2 and NaH afforded
polynuclear Co (II) complexes [Co7 (L) 12] Cl2 (1),[Co6Na (L) 12] Cl (2) and [Co4Cl2 (L) …

High-frequency and-field electron paramagnetic resonance (HFEPR), in its current
configuration (frequencies up to 1THz; fields up to 35T), has been applied to transition metal …

We report three dinuclear cobalt (II) complexes,[Co (L) Cl2] 2 (L= bpy, mbpy, and dmpbt),
that are bridged solely by chloride ions. High-field electron paramagnetic resonance and …

Low-dimensional molecular magnets are being studied as potential memory elements for
information storage,[1–3] for quantum information processing,[4–6] or as components of …

A solvothermally derived tetranuclear cobalt (II) complex,[Co4 (phen) 4Cl8](phen=
phenanthroline), featuring a zig-zag backbone of {Co (μ2-Cl) 2Co} planes, exhibits …

We have synthesised and structurally characterised a new pentanuclear mixed‐valent
cobalt cluster of formula [CoII3CoIII2 (OH) 2 (piv) 6 (L) 2 (H2O) 4](piv= trimethylacetate …

Hydrothermal reaction of cyano-substituted viologen derivatives and NaN3 with
corresponding metal salts in the presence/absence of H2PTA (H2PTA= p-phthalic acid) …
