Single chain magnet behaviour in an enantiopure chiral cobalt(II)–copper(II) one-dimensional compound

摘要

The self-assembly of an enantiomerically pure, chiral dianionic oxamatocopper(II) complex with cobalt(II) ions leads to neutral oxamato-bridged heterobimetallic chains that combine chirality\udand slow magnetic relaxation, providing thus the first example of ‘‘chiral single chain magnets (CSCMs).
