| Summary: | A one-dimensional coordination polymer was synthesized employing hepta-coordinate Co<sup>II</sup> as nodes and dicyanamide as linkers. Detailed direct current (DC) and alternating current (AC) magnetic susceptibility measurements reveal the presence of field-induced slow magnetic relaxation behavior of the magnetically isolated seven-coordinate Co<sup>II</sup> center with an easy-plane magnetic anisotropy. Detailed ab initio calculations were performed to understand the magnetic relaxation processes. To our knowledge, the reported complex represents the first example of slow magnetic relaxation in a one-dimensional coordination polymer constructed from hepta-coordinate Co<sup>II</sup> nodes and dicyanamide linkers. |
