Abstract:

The title paper by Boopathi and Ramasamy reports a study on the crystal growth and characterization of dibromobis(l-proline)cadmium(II) 1. Many points of criticism, concerning the crystal structure of 1 and the magnetic properties of 1, dibromobis(l-proline)zinc(II) 2 (J. Mol. Struc. 1033 (2013) 121-126) and diiodobis(2-aminopyridine)cadmium(II) 3 (J. Mol. Struc. 1042 (2013) 25-31) are described to show that compounds 1 to 3 are not soft magnets but instead diamagnetic solids.
