Summary
Magnetic susceptibility measurements have been carried out on 2-methylimidazolatocobalt(II) in the polycrystalline state from room to liquid helium temperature (4 K). The data support the spin-state equilibrium between the thermally accessible states4 T 2g and2 E g from room temperature to 40 K. However, below 40 K, antiferromagnetic exchange interactions are operative and the system has the 1-D Heisenberg infinitely chained structure. Some of the magnetic parameters have also been calculated.
