Harnessing ligand design to develop primary and self-calibrated luminescent thermometers with field-induced single ion magnet behaviour in Dy3+ complexes

Abstract

Magneto-luminescent studies on Dy+3 complexes of N6 macrocycles lead to a unique [Dy(LN6prop)(OAc)2](NO3)·CHCl3 luminescent primary thermometer based on 2 thermally coupled levels, which in addition shows field-induced single ion magnet behaviour.
