This paper demonstrates the engineering and tuning of Ising-type magneticanisotropy in trigonal bipyramidal Co(II) complexes. Here, we predict that employing a ligand that forces a trigonal bipyramidal arrangement and...
A series of five-coordinate copper(II) complexes with tripodligands, tris(2-alkylthioethyl)amines (NS3–R, R=CH3, C2H5, n-C3H7, i-C3H7, and t-C4H9), [Cu(NS3–R)L](ClO4)n, where L represents Cl−, Br−, I−, NCS−, im(imidazole), py(pyridine) and H2O, n=1 or 2 were prepared and characterized. The electronic, infrared and ESR spectral data suggest that [Cu(NS3–Me)im](ClO4)2 and [Cu(NS3–Me)OH2](ClO4)2 have
