Abstract:
A polar cobalt(II) phosphonate Co(bamdpH2)(H2O) (1) [bamdpH4 = (benzylazanediyl)bis(methylene)diphosphonic acid] is reported. It shows a linear chain structure. The neighboring chains are connected by moderately strong hydrogen bonds forming a supramolecular layer. The interlayer spaces are filled with the organic groups of the phosphonate ligands. Compound 1 displays the coexistence of single-chain magnet behavior and canted antiferromagnetism below 2.8 K. Moreover, the magnetic dynamics is strongly dependent on the synthetic methods, a phenomenon that has not been documented before.

Colors and Magnetism
When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...
