Abstract
Two dinuclear lanthanide(III) complexes, namely, [Ln2(bfa)4L2]·CH2Cl2 (Ln(III)=Gd (1) and Tb (2), bfa=benzoyltrifluoroacetone and HL=2-[[(4-methylphenyl)imino]methyl]-8-hydroxyquinoline), have been synthesized, structurally and magnetically characterized. 1 and 2 are phenoxo-O bridged dinuclear complexes and each center Ln(III) ion is eight-coordinated with two bidentate bfa and two μ2-O bridging 8-hydroxyquinoline Schiff base ligands. Magnetic studies reveal that 1 displays cryogenic magnetic refrigeration property (−ΔSm=18.5Jkg−1K−1 for ΔH=7T at 2K); while 2 exhibits single-molecule magnet behavior with the anisotropic barriers (ΔE/kB) of 9.93K.
