Field-induced slow magnetic relaxation in two interpenetrated cobalt() metal-organic framework isomers

Field-induced slow magnetic relaxation was observed in two interpenetrated cobalt( ii ) metal-organic framework (MOF) isomers constructed from a dual-functional ligand 1 H -benzimidazole-5-carboxylic acid, which represent the first example of MOF isomers showing field-induced single-ion magnet behavior. Two interpenetrated cobalt( ii ) metal-organic framework (MOF) isomers were successfully synthesized and magnetically characterized. These compounds are the first example of MOF isomers showing field-induced single-ion magnet behavior.
