A tridentate ligand L (2,6-bis(1-(3,5-di-tert-butylbenzyl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)pyridine) was synthesized and used for the preparation of three pentacoordinated Co(ii) complexes of formula [Co(L)X2] (where X = NCS- for 1, X = Cl- for 2 and X = Br- for 3) and one ionic compound 4 ([Co(L)2]Br2·2CH3OH·H2O) containing a hexacoordinated Co(ii) centre. Static magnetic data were analysed with respect to the spin (1-3) or the Griffith-Figgis (4) Hamiltonian. Ab initio calculations enable us to identify the positive axial magnetic anisotropy parameter D accompanied by a significant degree of rhombicity in the reported complexes. Also, magneto-structural correlation was outlined for this class of compounds. Moreover, all four compounds exhibit slow relaxation of magnetisation at an applied static magnetic field with either both low- and high-frequency relaxation channels (3) or a single high-frequency relaxation process (1, 2 and 4). The interplay between the stereochemistry of coordination polyhedra, magnetic anisotropy and the relaxation processes was investigated and discussed in detail.
