Na. Sanina et al., Synthesis of molecular magnetics based on cobalt trisoxalate. Structural and magnetic properties of NBu4n[(MnCoIII)-Co-II(C2O4)(3)], RUSS CHEM B, 48(8), 1999, pp. 1581-1583
Bimetallic oxalate-bridged complexes Q[(MCo)-Co-II(C2O4)(3)] (Q = Me4N+ (Bu
4N+)-N-n, Ph4P+; M-II = Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn) were synthesized. Single crysta
ls of [NBu4n][(MnCoIII)-Co-II(C2O4)(3)] were studied by XRD. Unit cell para
meters: a = b = 9.242(3) Angstrom, c = 54.524(13) Angstrom; space group R3c
. Magnetic measurements indicate the absence of a magnetic phase transition
up to the temperature of liquid helium. The XRD data confirm the presence
of Co-III ions with a low-spin configuration in the crystal.
