Abstract
Three isostructural 1D lanthanoid complexes with the general formula {[Ln2(DTE)(H-DTE)(MeOH)2]·2H2O}n (Ln = Tb, Dy, and Yb; DTE = 1,2-bis(5-carboxyl-2-methyl-3-thienyl) perfluorocyclopentene) were synthesized. In the 1D chain structure of each complex, lanthanide ions are seven coordinate with a capped trigonal prism geometry. The 1,2-bis(5-carboxyl-2-methyl-3-thienyl) perfluorocyclopentene (DTE) ligand adopts a parallel configuration in these complexes, which results in the loss of the photo-isomerization ability of the ligand. From magnetic measurements, each complex undergoes slow relaxation of the magnetization via multiple processes in a dc field.
Highlights
Single-molecule magnets (SMMs) which retain magnetization for long periods of time in the absence of an external magnetic field are being investigated vigorously these days for potential applications in a variety of fields, including molecular spintronics [1,2], data storage devices [3], and quantum computing [4,5]
Lanthanide based SMMs have large single-ion magnetic anisotropies, and the energy splitting of the ground state of lanthanide ions is affected by the crystal field surrounding the ion [6]
Slight modification of the crystal field can generate a significant change in the ground state splitting, which will affect the magnetic anisotropy of the ion and influence the SMM behavior
