K. Nakayama et al., PYRIMIDINE-BRIDGED COBALT(II) COMPLEXES WITH A CHIRAL 3-D NETWORK SHOWING WEAK FERROMAGNETISM, Chemistry Letters, (6), 1998, pp. 497-498
The reaction of CoX2 (X = Br, Cl) and pyrimidine (PM) in H2O gave crys
tals of CoPM2X2. The crystal structure analysis revealed a chiral thre
e-dimensional network of the Co(II) ions. Weak ferromagnetism with rel
atively large spontaneous magnetization was observed below 5 K for bot
h compounds.
