“…The magnetic studies of compound 1 were carried out between 5 and 300 K. Plot of χ M T versus T (Figure 6), where χ M is the molar magnetic susceptibility, revealed that the χ M T value at 300 K (12.6 cm 3 mol À 1 K) is higher than the expected one for five non-interacting Co(II) ions with S = 3/2 and g = 2.0 (χ M = 9.35 cm 3 mol À 1 K), which is an clear indication of the orbital contribution (i. e., g > 2.0) to the magnetic moment, being characteristic of a Co(II) ion in an octahedron geometry with 4 T 1g ground state. [22] Upon cooling, χ M T remains approximately constant until ~200 K. At 5.3 K, χ M T decreases to 1.82 cm 3 mol À 1 K, which can be ascribed to either antiferromagnetic interactions and/or zero-field splitting (ZFS). However, these variations in the χ M T are relatively weak, so that the reciprocal susceptibility versus temperature fits very well to the Curie-Weiss law (Figure 6), leading to a Curie constant, C =…”
