Phosphonates as ligands in Co-Cr heterometallic clusters.
Two new Co(ii)-Cr(iii) phosphonate clusters with [Co(II)(4)Cr(III)(4)] and [Co(II)(8)Cr(III)(4)] cores have been synthesized by a displacement reaction from a pre-formed heterometallic carboxylate cage. Magnetic studies show overall antiferromagnetic interactions are present in these clusters.
