(mu-NO)2[CoCp]2 is not paramagnetic
In this paper by Andersen and Berg (J. Am. Chem. Soc., 1988, 110 (14), pp 4849–4850) the authors present magnetic measurements that refute the calculated ground state of an organometallic cobalt nitrosyl dimer. Students will learn about two physical techniques for measuring magnetism and will learn how magnetic measurements can be used to indicate paramagnetism versus diamagnetism.
