Rotaxane coII complexes as field‐induced single‐ion magnets
Rotaxane coII complexes as field‐induced single‐ion magnets
Mechanically chelating ligands have untapped potential for the engineering of metal ion properties. Here we demonstrate this principle in the context of Co
II-based single-ion magnets. Using multi-frequency EPR, susceptibility and magnetization measurements we found that these complexes show some of the highest zero field splittings reported for five-coordinate Co
II complexes to date. The predictable coordination behaviour of the interlocked ligands allowed the magnetic properties of their Co
II complexes to be evaluated computationally a priori and our combined experimental and theoretical approach enabled us to rationalize the observed trends. The predictable magnetic behaviour of the rotaxane Co
II complexes demonstrates that interlocked ligands offer a new strategy to design metal complexes with interesting functionality.

Abstract
Mechanically chelating ligands have untapped potential for the engineering of metal ion properties. Here we demonstrate this principle in the context of Co
II-based single-ion magnets. Using multi-frequency EPR, susceptibility and magnetization measurements we found that these complexes show some of the highest zero field splittings reported for five-coordinate Co
II complexes to date. The predictable coordination behaviour of the interlocked ligands allowed the magnetic properties of their Co
II complexes to be evaluated computationally a priori and our combined experimental and theoretical approach enabled us to rationalize the observed trends. The predictable magnetic behaviour of the rotaxane Co
II complexes demonstrates that interlocked ligands offer a new strategy to design metal complexes with interesting functionality.
