Spin-Canting Magnetization in an Unusual Co₄ Cluster-Based Layer Compound from a 2,3-Dihydroxyquinoxaline Ligand

Abstract

The self-assembly of Co­(O2CPh)2 with a 2,3-dihydroxyquinoxaline (H2dhq) linker has revealed a new two-dimensional cluster-based compound, [Co4(OMe)2(O2CPh)2(dhq)2(MeOH)2]n, which shows spin-canted magnetization and a definite magnetic hysteresis loop
