Abstract:
Herein, we report a new trigonal prismatic cobalt(II) complex that behaves as a single molecule magnet. The obtained zero-field splitting, which is also directly accessed by THz-EPR spectroscopy (-102.5 cm(-1)), results in a large magnetization reversal barrier U of 205 cm(-1). Its effective value, however, is much lower (101 cm(-1)), even though there is practically no contribution from quantum tunneling to magnetization relaxation.
