The magnetic anisotropy associated with a pentagonal bipyramidal (PBP) coordination
sphere is examined on the basis of experimental and theoretical investigations. The origin …

This review gives an account of the coordination chemistry, metallo-supramolecular
chemistry and application of mono-and oligopyridine-based macrocyclic ligands. For this …

A rational approach of modulating the easy-plane magnetic anisotropy of mononuclear
pentagonal bipyramidal CoII single molecule magnets (SMMs) has been revealed in this …

A tetranuclear cubane-type complex [Co4 (ntfa) 4 (CH3O) 4 (CH3OH) 4](1) with a {Co4O4}
