A two-dimensional cobalt(ii) network with a remarkable positive axial anisotropy parameter exhibiting field-induced single-ion magnet behavior

Abstract

With pyridyl-1,2,4-triazole (3,3′-Hbpt), {[Co(3,3′-Hbpt)2(SCN)2]·2H2O}n (1) and {[Ni(3,3′-Hbpt)2(SCN)2]·2H2O}n(2) are prepared and magnetically characterized.
