Abstract
Variable-temperature NMR spectroscopy has recently emerged as a new alternative to the magnetometry methods for studying single molecule magnets. Its use is based on an accurate determination of magnetic susceptibility tensor anisotropy Δχ, which is not always achievable due to some contact contribution to NMR chemical shifts and possible conformational dynamics. Here, we applied this approach to cholesteryl-substituted cage cobalt(II) complexes featuring a very large magnetic anisotropy. Conformational rigidity and large size of the cholesteryl substituent with many magnetically nonequivalent nuclei resulted in an excellent convergence of experimental and calculated 1H and 13C chemical shifts, thus allowing for the determination of Δχ value for all of the synthesized cobalt(II) complexes with a very high accuracy and providing a more reliable zero-field splitting energy for further calculations.
