Abstract
A new Co(II) complex, {[Co(MPA)(4,4′-bpy)(H2O)]·2H2O}n (1) (H2MPA = 4-methylphthalic acid, 4,4′-bpy = 4,4′-bipyridine), has been prepared under solvothermal condition and fully characterized. The X-ray crystallography test demonstrates that 1 exhibits two-dimensional (2D) layer structure in which the helical Co(II) chains linked by syn-anti carboxylate bridges are connected by 4,4′-bpy ligands. Weak ferromagnetism was observed on direct-current (dc) susceptibility due to the collective effects of the helical chain structure and antiferromagnetic couplings between Co(II) ions transmitted by μ2-1,3-carboxylate groups. Interestingly, slow magnetic relaxation was observed in 1 at liquid helium temperatures without an external dc field.
