Field effects to slow magnetic relaxation in a mononuclear Ni(ii) complex†
Abstract
A mononuclear Ni(II) complex [Ni(NCS)2(nqu)2(H2O)2]·2nqu (nqu – 5-nitroquinoline) shows a field induced slow magnetic relaxation with three relaxation domains. The relaxation time for the low-frequency mode is as slow as τ = 0.3 s at T = 1.9 K and BDC = 0.4 T.
