Hydrothermal synthesis, structure and magnetism of square-grid cobalt(ii)-carboxylate layered compounds with and without pillars
Abstract
The CH– for (1) or pillared by –C6H4–CH
CH– for (2). The magnetism was studied as a function of temperature and magnetic field. In both cases the magnetic moment decreases on lowering the temperature due to spin–orbit coupling and no interaction between cobalt ions. The data can alternatively be fitted to an unrealistic quadratic layer model for S
= 3/2 without taking into account the effect of spin–orbit.
