Enantiopure chiral coordination polymers of tetrahedral and octahedral cobalt(II) alternate chains exhibiting slow magnetic relaxation behavior

Dalton Trans. 2011 Jun 7;40(21):5680-3. doi: 10.1039/c1dt10262a. Epub 2011 Apr 28.

Abstract

The first two chiral homometallic coordination frameworks with homochiral helical [Co(Oct)O(Trp)Co(Td)O(Trp)](n) ferrimagnetic chains, exhibiting a unique coexistence of chirality and slow magnetic relaxation in one material, are reported.
