Systematic Study of Open-Shell Trigonal Pyramidal Transition- Metal Complexes with a Rigid-Ligand Scaffold

摘要

A family of distorted trigonal pyramidal transition- metal complexes [M~(II)(N_3N)Li(THF)] (M=Mn, Fe, Co, Ni) have been studied as candidates for mononuclear singlemolecule magnets. Magnetic anisotropy of the family depends on the electronic configuration of the central ion, with the Co analogue exhibiting pronounced SMM behavior.
