Abstract

Reaction of CoX2 · nH2O with either 2-amino-3-methylpyridine (3-MAP) or 2-amino-5-methylpyridine (5-MAP) in aqueous acid gave complexes, (3-MAPH)2CoX4 or (5-MAPH)2CoX4 (H2O) n [n = 0,1; X = Cl, Br; 3-MAPH = 2-amino-3-methylpyridinium, 5-MAPH = 2-amino-5-methylpyridinium]. The 3-MAPH salts are formed in the triclinic crystal system while the 5-MAPH salts are formed in the monoclinic crystal system. Three of these compounds exhibit weak antiferromagnetic interactions along with varying degrees of single-ion anisotropy, however, 1 shows easy-plane anisotropy and exhibits a mixture of ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic interactions.
