Abstract
AbstractTwo new 3, 5‐heptanedione (β‐diketonate) dysprosium complexes, namely, [Dy(L)3(phen)] (1) and [Dy(L)3(tmphen)] (2), have been designed and isolated by reactions of 3, 5‐heptanedione with dysprosium chloride and auxiliary ligand under room temperature (L=3, 5‐heptanedione, phen=1, 10‐phenanthroline, tmphen=3, 4, 7, 8‐tetramethyl‐1, 10‐phenanthroline). X‐ray crystallographic analysis reveals that complexes 1 and 2 are mononuclear, and the Dy(III) ions are eight coordinated forming the square‐anti‐prismatic geometry. Complexes 1 and 2 were characterized by various means including elemental analysis, IR and UV spectroscopy. Magnetic studies indicate that both complexes 1 and 2 are single‐molecule magnets (SMMs) under zero dc field. Notably, the auxiliary ligand plays an essential role in regulating their magnetism, which result in the essential magnetism difference between complexes 1 and 2.
