Molecular, spectroscopic, and magnetic properties of cobalt(II) complexes with heteroaromatic N(O)-donor ligands
New [Co(SCN)2(L)4/2] complexes, where
L = b-pic (1), pyCH2OH (2), py(CH2)3OH (3), 1,2,4-
triazolo[1,5-a]pyrimidine (4), [CoCl2(urotrop)2] (5), and
[Co(DMIM)3]Cl2 H2O (6) where urotrop = hexamethylenetetramine
and DMIM = 2,20-bis(4,5-dimethylimidazolyl)
were synthesized in simple reactions of CoCl2 6H2O
with ammonia thiocyanate and pyridine type ligands or
urotropine and diimidazolyl ligands with cobalt(II) chloride
in methanol solutions. The orthorhombic crystallization
for (1), (2), and (4), the monoclinic one for (3) and (5)
as well as the hexagonal one for (6) were found. The plots
of the overlap population density-of-states indicated nonbonding
character of the interactions between pyridine
derivatives ligands and cobalt(II) ions in the complexes
(1)–(4). The electronic spectra showed almost perfect
octahedral complex in the case of (6). The magnetic susceptibility
measurements revealed paramagnetic behavior
with low values of the Curie–Weiss temperature, positive
for complex (5) and negative for the other ones, although
the transition to collective magnetic state at low temperatures
for (4) and (5) was evidenced by an observation of
antiferromagnetic coupling with Ne´el temperature of 4.5 K
and the ferromagnetic one with Curie temperature of 10 K,
respectively
