“…15 Interesting magnetic properties, particularly strong easy-plane-type magnetic anisotropy, are also demonstrated by Co(II) complexes 2. 13 An earlier study of TPDO metal (d 8 , d 9 ) complexes with open electronic shells 13,14 focused on the investigation of their structural characteristics and magnetic behavior. In the present work, we report the synthesis of diamagnetic Zn(II)-TPDO complexes 4, 5 and exploration of their spectral, luminescent, and electrochemical properties.…”
