Single chain magnet behaviour in an enantiopure chiral cobalt(II)-copper(II) one-dimensional compound.
The self-assembly of an enantiomerically pure, chiral dianionic oxamatocopper(II) complex with cobalt(II) ions leads to neutral oxamato-bridged heterobimetallic chains that combine chirality and slow magnetic relaxation, providing thus the first example of "chiral single chain magnets" (CSCMs).
