• A new hexacoordinate Co­(II) complex with the general formula [CoL­(NCS)2]·DMSO (1) (L = biscondensation product of diacetyl and 2-hydrazinyl-4,6-dimethylpyrimidine, DMSO = dimethylsulfoxide) exhibiting field-induced single-ion magnet (SIM) behavior has been obtained and characterized. To explain such field-induced SIM behavior, we have performed the analysis of the observed direct current (DC) magnetic properties based on the Griffiths Hamiltonian in combination with the high-level quantum-chemical calculations of the crystal field parameters. The complex has been shown to exhibit strong easy-axis-type magnetic anisotropy arising from a large negative value Δax = −1538.0 cm–1 of the axial crystal parameter, which is accompanied by a weak rhombic contribution with |Δrh| = 219.3 cm–1. Magnetic properties of 1 have been compared with the previously studied field-induced SIM compound [CoLCl2]·H2O (2). Introduction of a thiocyanide anion in 1 (instead of chloride in 2) in the Co­(II) coordination sphere resulted in improvement of uniaxial magnetic anisotropy and switch of the relaxation process from the combination of direct and Raman mechanisms in 2 to Orbach-type one in complex 1. Effects of substitution of acidoligands in the Co­(II) coordination sphere on the crystalline structure, DC magnetic properties, magnetic anisotropy, and magnetization relaxation processes have been rationalized.
