%X The magnetic susceptibilities along and perpendicular to the c axis (hexagonal setting) between 2.0 and 300 K at a magnetic field of 1.00 T, and the magnetizations at field strengths up to 5.00 T, are presented for single crystals of [Co(NH3)5(OH2)] [Cr(CN)6]. The results are interpreted in terms of zero-field splitting (2D) of the ground 4A2g term by spin-orbit coupling and of magnetic exchange interaction between the chromium atoms. The magnetic exchange is modelled as one of Ising or mean-field in type. The exchange is found to be quite small: J = -0.18(6) cm-1 if the Ising model is employed, and -0.03(1) cm-1 for the mean-field model. The model adopted for the exchange has a strong influence on the value of the parameter D obtained. When the Ising model is used D is deduced to be -0.28(9) cm-l; when the mean-field model is used D is -0.14(4) cm-l. The g-values deduced are in agreement with those from e.s.r. measurements at higher temperatures and do not depend on the exchange model. In any case, D is found to be sufficiently large that it must be considered in a polarized neutron diffraction experiment on the compound.
