Abstract
Solvothermal reaction of Co(OAc)2·4H2O with H4L (H4L = 2-((2-hydroxybenzylidene)amino)-2- hydroxymethylpropane-1,3-diol) in MeCN gave a mixed-valence pentanuclear cobalt complex [Co5(HL)2(H2L)2(OAc) 2]·2.5H2O. Crystal structural analysis revealed that two Co(iii) ions were linked to a central triangular Co(ii) core through HL3- and H2L2- hydroxyl groups. Magnetic measurements showed interesting magnetic properties that were assigned to spin-orbital coupling and ferromagnetic exchange interactions.
