We present high-frequency/high-field electron paramagnetic resonance (HF-EPR) studies on Co(II) and Fe(IV) coordination complexes. For Co(II) systems, we show that ligand exchange in the 2nd coordination sphere on [Co(L₁)₄]X₂, with L₁ = thiourea (NH₂CSNH₂) and X = I (1),Br (2), SiF6 (3)) has significant effects on the crystal field and hence on magnetic anisotropy of the Co-ion. While the substitution of I by Br only has small impact on the axial anisotropy (D = -153(2)/-168(5) GHz, respectively), we observed strong enhancement of anisotropy in the SiF₆ containing sample (|D| > 800 GHz). Furthermore, our data enables precise determination of weak intermolecular coupling in the range of several hundred mK which sign changes by ligand substitution. In additon, we present HF-EPR data on an octahedrally coordinated Fe(IV)-complex which was prepared under liquid N₂ conditions. Our results confirm the intermediate-spin state and detect axial anisotropy of D= 107(3) GHz.
