Abstract

ABSTRACTTwo Co (II) compounds [Co (abs)2]·2H2O (1) and [Co (pabs)2] (2) (Habs = N‐(pyridine‐2′‐yl methylene)‐2‐aminobenzene sulfonic acid, Hpabs = N‐[(pyridine‐2′‐yl)(phenyl)methylene]‐2‐aminobenzene sulfonic acid) were synthesized by the introduction of sulfonate ligands with different substitutions. Both Co (II) ions are located in a trigonal prism coordination environment with different coordination distortions. Static magnetic studies and theoretical calculations found that easy‐axis magnetic anisotropy is present in both complexes. The contributions of the negative D values are principally derived from the first quartet excited state. Dynamic magnetic investigations uncovered that both compounds have field‐induced single‐ion magnet (SIM) behavior and their magnetic relaxations mainly realize through Raman and direct pathways.
