In a follow‐up study of the cobalt(II) member 1 of a family of isostructural cubane clusters of type [C(NH 2 ) 3 ] 8 [M II 4 (cit) 4 ]·8H 2 O (cit = citrate, M = Mg, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Zn) by measuring AC magnetic susceptibilities, as a function of frequency, this compound clearly displays behaviour typical of magnetization reversal and slow magnetic relaxation (Δ E = 13.1 K, τ o = 8.4 × 10 –7 s). A related octanuclear cluster [Co 8 (C 4 O 7 ) 4 (H 2 O) 12 ] · 24H 2 O ( 2 ) that contains a [Co 4 (C 4 O 7 ) 4 ] cubane moiety, behaves likewise (Δ E = 20.5 K, τ o = 1.0 × 10 –7 s).(© Wiley‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
