Abstract
The reaction of Co(ClO4)2·6H2O with 2-hydroxy-3-methoxy-benzaldehyde and an aqueous solution of methylamine in acetonitrile/MeOH under microwave irradiation and controlled temperature/pressure leads to formation of heptanuclear cobalt cluster [Co7(mmp)6(CH3O)6]·(ClO4)2 (1) (mmp is 2-methoxy-6-methyliminomethyl-phenol anion) in only 20 min and also results in higher yields in contrast to other synthesis methods. Complex 1 displays dominant ferromagnetic interactions through μ 3-O and μ 2-O (oxidophenyl) binding modes.
