Preparation, structure and preliminary magnetic studies of tri- and tetra-nuclear cobalt–lanthanide carboxylate complexes
Abstract
Carboxylate-bridged cobalt–lanthanide complexes [Co2Nd(O2CCMe3)6(C9H7N)2(NO3)] and [Co2Er2(O2CCMe3)8(C9H7N)2(NO3)2] have been prepared and structurally characterised by X-ray diffraction; both of them are found to be antiferromagnetically coupled.
