title: Systematic Study of Open-Shell Trigonal Pyramidal Transition-Metal Complexes with a Rigid-Ligand Scaffold.
abstract: A family of distorted trigonal pyramidal transition-metal complexes [MII(N3N)Li(THF)] (M=Mn, Fe, Co, Ni) have been studied as candidates for mononuclear single-molecule magnets. Magnetic anisotropy of the family depends on the electronic configuration of the central ion, with the Co analogue exhibiting pronounced SMM behavior.
