Abstract
The reaction between the 2-(1-(4′-[4-(methylphenyl]-2,2:6′,2″-terpyridyl)-4,5-(4,5-bis(propylthio)-tetrathiafulvalenyl)-1H-benzimidazol-2-yl)-pyridine (L) and 2 equivalents of Dy(hfac)3·2H2O (hfac− = 1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoroacetyacetonate) metallic precursors leads to the formation of a dinuclear complex of formula [Dy2(hfac)6(L)]·C6H14 (Dy2). The X-ray structure on single crystal reveals the occupation of the two benzoimidazolylpyridine (bzip) and terpyridyl (terpy) coordination sites with a Dy(III) ion. The two D4d and C4v Dy(III) ions highlighted slow magnetic relaxation under an applied magnetic field. Even if the two lanthanide centers have similar magnetic anisotropy, they displayed different relaxation times of their magnetization which could be explained by the distinct nature of the magnetic relaxation processes. These conclusions are supported by ab initio calculations.
