Abstract
A novel DyIII-NaI one-dimensional chain, namely [DyIIINaI(L)(CH3CO2)2]n·2CH3CN (1, H2L = N1,N3‑bis(3‑methoxysalicylidene)diethylenetriamine), was synthesized by treating H2L, di-2-pyridyl ketone (dpk), and NaHCO3 with Dy(CH3CO2)2·6H2O in acetonitrile. Complex 1 was characterized by elemental analyses, IR spectroscopy, single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses and magnetic properties. Structural analyses revealed that 1 consists of a neutral one-dimensional (1D) chain. In each [DyNa] unit, one DyIII and one NaI ions are bridged by two phenoxido O atoms from one L2− ligand and one carboxyl O atom from one CH3CO2−. Moreover, the [DyNa] units were further connected by two carboxyl O atoms from another CH3CO2−. The magnetic studies revealed that 1 exhibits the field-induced single molecule magnet behavior with an effective energy of 13.21 K. The orientation of the anisotropy axes for the DyIII in 1 was estimated by Magellan program, indicating that the directionality of the anisotropic axes is almost collinear to the Dy1-O8 bond, with an angle of 3.085°.
