Abstract

Solutions of Co3(dpa)4Cl2, where dpa = di(2-pyridyl)amide ion, in CD2Cl2 were studied by NMR in the temperature range 183-303 K. The spectra show only four 1H and five 13C resonance signals, consistent with the D4 symmetry of the molecules found in the solid. The magnetic susceptibility involution was determined by the Evans method from 193 to 308 K. These observations can be modeled as an S = 1/2 to S = 5/2 spin-transition process with ΔH = 7.7(2) kJ mol-1 and ΔS = 20.8(8) J K-1 mol-1.
