Abstract

In this work, we report a tetranuclear Co4 cluster, namely [Co4(L)2(μ2-OCH3)2(μ3-OCH3)2(CH3OH)2]·2CH3OH (1, H2L = 2-{[(2-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)methylidene]amino}benzoic acid). The complex was synthesized and characterized by IR, elemental analysis, thermogravimetric analysis and single crystal X-ray diffraction. X-ray crystallography reveals that complex belongs to the monoclinic crystal system, space group P21/n. Further, their fluorescence and magnetic properties are also discussed. The variable temperature magnetic susceptibilities for complex indicate the existence of antiferromagnetic exchange interactions.
