Experimental and theoretical insights into Co–Ln magnetic exchange and the rare slow-magnetic relaxation behavior of [CoII2Pr]<sup>2+</sup> in a series of linear [CoII2Ln]<sup>2+</sup> complexes
Naushad Ahmed, Kamal Uddin Ansari
Abstract
A series of near-linear Co II –Ln–Co II complexes are synthesized, and their experimental static and dynamic magnetic behavior is investigated. SMM behavior is observed for Co 2 Pr, which is rare. The experimental findings are further rationalized using theoretical studies.
