Abstract

A solvothermally derived tetranuclear cobalt(II) complex, [Co(4)(phen)(4)Cl(8)] (phen = phenanthroline), featuring a zig-zag backbone of {Co(μ(2)-Cl)(2)Co} planes, exhibits ferromagnetic exchange and slow relaxation of the magnetization and represents the first Co SMM with a linear core structure.
