Abstract

We report a Co(III) 2 Dy(III) complex, which shows single-ion-magnet behaviour. AC susceptibility data of this compound reveals the presence of slow relaxation of the magnetization in zero-field below 15 K. The relaxation barrier is 88 K.

Keywords: 3d/4f complexes; compartmental ligands; heterometallic complexes; magnetic properties; zero-field SIM.
