Synthesis and structural and magnetic characterization of a hexadecanuclear cobalt phosphonate compound.
A wheel-like hexadecanuclear cobalt phosphonate [Co(16)(OH)(6)(chp)(22)(O(3)PC(6)H(9))(2)(H(2)O)(4)] has been synthesized by reactions of cobalt perchlorate with cyclohexenephosphonic acid (H(2)O(3)PC(6)H(9)) and 6-chloro-2-hydroxypyridine (Hchp) in the presence of Et(3)N. Magnetic studies on the compound show a general decline of chi(M)T with decreasing T. The appeared maximum of chi(M)T at low temperature suggests the presence of a non-diamagnetic ground state. The alternating current susceptibilities show frequency-dependent signals.
