The synthesis and structural characterization of the hitherto unknown parent Co(bz) (bz=benzene) complex and several of its derivatives are described. Their synthesis starts either from a CoCO salt, or directly from Co (CO) and a Ag salt. Stability and solubility of these complexes was achieved by using the weakly coordinating anions (WCAs) [Al(OR ) ] and [F{Al(OR ) } ] {R =C(CF ) } and the solvent ortho-difluorobenzene (o-DFB).

Article Synopsis
  • Cobalt-benzene cluster ions were formed and analyzed using advanced spectroscopy techniques in a low-temperature environment to study their magnetic properties.
  • The research revealed that while the spin and orbital magnetic moments of Co(bz) clusters generally matched those of free cobalt, the addition of a third benzene drastically altered the magnetic state.
  • Density functional theory calculations were employed to explain the shift from high to low spin states as more benzene ligands were attached to the cobalt center.
