Background
The magnetic material has wide application, and the application market of the magnetic material exceeds that of a semiconductor material. Among them, information storage has been one of the largest applications of magnetic materials. With the development of information technology, the number of integrated electronic devices is required to exponentially increase and the device size is continuously reduced. The continuous development of integration and miniaturization is limited by the processing technology and cost, which causes the difficulty of overcoming the obstacles of modern electronic device integration technology. Therefore, the development of molecular-based magnetic materials has become a focus of attention of scientists. Single Molecule Magnets (SMMs) are an important area of molecular-based magnetic material research. The magnetic material can represent the macroscopic magnetism of a classic magnet and the quantum tunneling effect of microscopic particles, becomes a bridge connecting the classic magnetism theory and the quantum theory, and has huge application potential in high-density information storage, quantum computers and molecular spinning.
The switching energy barrier U of the SMM is determined by the ground state spin value (S) of the system and the negative zero field splitting energy parameter (D), and the relationship is that U is S2| D | or (S)2-1/4) | D |. Initially, researchers selected appropriate bridging ligands to modulate the magnetic interaction between the respective spin carriers to a ferromagnetic interaction, increasing the ground state spin value (S), and thus obtaining unimolecular magnets. Such SMMs are mainly focused on clusters containing transition metals such as manganese, cobalt, iron and nickel. However, researchers have found that increasing S decreases the value of D, and that increasing S alone does not effectively increase the value of the inversion energy barrier U. Therefore, researchers have constructed mononuclear complexes by using lanthanide ions and transition metal ions having relatively strong magnetic anisotropy, and have increased the D valueAnd a monomolecular magnet is obtained. This type of single-molecule magnet is also called a single-ion magnet (SIM) because the molecular structure has only one magnetic center.
The first example of transition metal single ion magnet K [ (tpa) was reported in 2010 by Long et alMes)FeII][1]Single ion magnets based on 3d transition metals have attracted the attention of researchers and have been rapidly developed. Currently, single ion magnets based on magnetic centers such as Mn (III), Fe (I/II/III), Co (II), Ni (I), Cr (II), and Re (IV) have been reported. However, most of transition metal-based single-ion magnets are low-coordination (coordination number is 2-6) compounds, and high-coordination (coordination number is 7-8) transition metal-based single-ion magnets are rarely reported.

The cobalt-based single ion magnet prepared in this example was characterized as follows:
(1) determination of Crystal Structure
Selecting a single crystal with proper size under a microscope, and monochromating a molybdenum target by using graphite on a Bruker SMART Apex II CCD single crystal instrument at room temperature
Test structure
[15]. Data were collected and unit cells were determined using the APEXII program. Structural data was normalized and absorption corrected using SAINT and SADABS programs
[16]. Structure analysis using SHELXTL-97 program
[17]. All non-hydrogen atom coordinates are obtained by a difference Fourier synthesis method, the atom coordinates and the anisotropic temperature factors are corrected by using a full matrix least square method, and all hydrogen atoms are hydrogenated by using a theory. The structure is shown in figure 1. The crystallographic data are shown in table 1.
TABLE 1 crystallographic data for the complexes

(2) Determination of phase purity by powder X-ray diffraction
The phase purity of the red bulk crystalline product obtained in this example was characterized using a Bruker D8 Advance powder X-ray diffractometer. As shown in fig. 2, the simulation curve was obtained by simulation of the single crystal structure data using Mercury software. The result shows that the cobalt-based single ion magnet has reliable phase purity, and provides guarantee for the application of the cobalt-based single ion magnet in molecular-based magnetic materials.
(3) And (3) magnetic property characterization:
the magnetic measurement adopts a superconducting Quantum interferometer Quantum Design MPMS SQUID VSM magnetic measurement system. The testing temperature of the direct current magnetic susceptibility is 1.8-300K, and the magnetic field is 0.1T. The testing temperature of the magnetization is 1.8K, 3K and 5K, and the magnetic field is 0-7T. The frequency range of the imaginary part alternating current magnetic susceptibility and the real part alternating current magnetic susceptibility is 1-999 Hz, the temperature range is 1.8-3.8K, and the external direct current magnetic field is 0.1T.
As shown in FIG. 3, the product of the DC magnetic susceptibility (χ) and the temperature (T) is 2.32cm at 300K3 mol-1K, much greater than the theoretical value of co (ii) (g 2) with S3/2 spin only, 1.875cm3 mol-1K. Therefore, the complex has not only a spin magnetic moment but also a significant orbital contribution. In the range 300-50K the product remains essentially constant, whereas at temperatures below 50K the value starts to drop sharply, due to the important magnetic anisotropy present in the system. The magnetization curve (fig. 4) shows that none of the complexes reached saturation in magnetization when the magnetic field reached 7T, confirming that the complexes have strong magnetic anisotropy. Under the condition that the applied direct current field is 0.1T, the imaginary part alternating current magnetic susceptibility x' of the complex presents obvious temperature dependence and frequency dependence phenomena (figure 5), and slow magnetic relaxation behavior is generated. The corresponding Cole-Cole curves represent a good semicircular distribution and can be fitted with the debye function of a single relaxation process (fig. 6). By combining the phenomena, the rare earth complex prepared by the invention applies a magnetic fieldThe material can show typical slow relaxation behavior at 0.1T, has the characteristics of a single-molecule magnet, and can be used as a molecule-based magnetic material in novel high-density information storage devices (such as optical disks, hard disks and the like).
