Abstract

The reaction of Co(NO(3))(2)·6H(2)O and 3-benzoylpyridine with the low-spin iron(III) complex, H[Fe(III)(phen)(CN)(4)], in methanol gives rise to a cyanide-bridged heterobimetallic chain [{Fe(III)(phen)(CN)(4)}(2)Co(II)(3-bpe)(2)] (1) that exhibits intrachain ferromagnetic coupling and slow double magnetic relaxation.
