The microscopic theory of the magnetically anisotropic effective pseudo-spin-(1)/(2) Hamiltonian for a pair of Co(2+) ions is reported. In the framework of the second-order perturbation approach, the analytical expressions are found for the components of the tensor of the exchange interaction, g-tensor, and the factor in the temperature independent paramagnetic contribution. The parameters of the Hamiltonian are expressed in terms of the basic intra- and intercenter parameters of the pair, namely, the spin-orbit coupling constant, orbital reduction factor, exchange integral, and low symmetry crystal field parameters including axial and rhombic terms.

In this critical review we review the problem of exchange interactions in polynuclear metal complexes involving orbitally degenerate metal ions. The key feature of these systems is that, in general, they carry an unquenched orbital angular momentum that manifests itself in all their magnetic properties. Thus, interest in degenerate systems involves fundamental problems related to basic models in magnetism.

In this article we report for the first time experimental details concerning the synthesis and full characterization (including the single-crystal X-ray structure) of the spin-canted zigzag-chain compound [Co(H2L)(H2O)]infinity [L = 4-Me-C6H4-CH2N(CPO3H2)2], which contains antiferromagnetically coupled, highly magnetically anisotropic Co(II) ions with unquenched orbital angular momenta, and we also propose a new model to explain the single-chain magnet behavior of this compound. The model takes into account (1) the tetragonal crystal field and the spin-orbit interaction acting on each Co(II) ion, (2) the antiferromagnetic Heisenberg exchange between neighboring Co(II) ions, and (3) the tilting of the tetragonal axes of the neighboring Co units in the zigzag structure. We show that the tilting of the anisotropy axes gives rise to spin canting and consequently to a nonvanishing magnetization for the compound.
