Magnetic Properties of Mononuclear Co(II) Complexes with Carborane Ligands

Abstract

We analyze the magnetic properties of three mononuclear Co(II) coordination complexes using quantum chemical complete active space self-consistent field and N-electron valence perturbation theory approaches. The complexes are characterized by a distorted tetrahedral geometry in which the central ion is doubly chelated by the icosahedral ligands derived from 1,2-(HS)-1,2-CBH (complex I), from 1,2-(HS)-1,2-CBH and 9,12-(HS)-1,2-CBH (complex II), and from 9,12-(HS)-1,2-CBH (complex III), which are two positional isomers of dithiolated 1,2-dicarba- closo-dodecaborane (complex I). Complex I was realized experimentally recently (Tu, D.; Shao, D.; Yan, H.; Lu, C. Chem. Commun. 2016, 52, 14326) and served to validate the computational protocol employed in this work, while the remaining two proposed complexes can be considered positional isomers of I. Our calculations show that these complexes present different axial and rhombic zero-field splitting anisotropy parameters and different values of the most significant components of the g tensor. The predicted axial anisotropy D = -147.2 cm for complex II is twice that observed experimentally for complex I, D = -72.8 cm, suggesting that this complex may be of interest for practical applications. We also analyze the temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility and molar magnetization for these complexes when subject to an external magnetic field. Overall, our results suggest that o-carborane-incorporated Co(II) complexes are worthwhile candidates for experimental exploration as single-ion molecular magnets.

What Influences Fashion Consumers’ Loyalty On Social Media in Indonesia?

“…Trust is considered to be able to reduce the anxiety felt by consumers so that it promotes purchase intention. Trust is also mentioned as a factor that creates a sense of security in consumers because a lack of trust distracts consumers from purchasing decisions (Alcoba et al, 2018) 2021). From the characteristics mentioned which have been described in this research, it can be observed that there is a bond between the independent variables of the country of origin, perceived value, trust, influencer marketing, customer engagement, and purchase intention towards the dependent variable of customer loyalty.…”

Peran Mediasi Perceived Usefulness Dalam Platform C2c E-Commerce

“…Hansen, Saridakis, & Benson (2018) menyatakan bahwa peningkatan perceived ease of use harus dikaitkan dengan peningkatan perceived usefulness, sehingga perceived ease of use berpengaruh terhadap perceived usefulness. Hasil penelitian (Hansen et al, 2018) juga didukung oleh Abadi & Nematizadeh (2012), Bigné-Alcaiz et al (2008), Chao et al (2011), Cho (2015, Mouakket (2009), Tai & Liu (2015) yang menegaskan bahwa semakin mudah layanan berbasis teknologi baru tersebut digunakan, semakin besar kanfaat yang dirasakan konsumen. Berdasarkan paparan diatas maka hipotesis penelitian yang dibentuk adalah: H1: Perceived ease of use berpengaruh pada perceived usefulness…”

“…Begitu juga konsumen merasa nyaman ketika menggunakan sistem pada toko online sehingga konsumen punya persespi bahwa belanja di toko online memang memudahkan hidup mereka. Hasil penelitian ini mendukung beberapa studi sebelumnya yang memastikan bahwa perceived ease of use memang mempunyai pengaruh terhadap perceived usefulness (Abadi & Nematizadeh, 2012;Bigné-Alcaiz et al, 2008;Chao et al, 2011;Cho, 2015;Hansen et al, 2018;Mouakket, 2009;Tai & Liu, 2015).…”
