Abstract
Seven new dinuclear centrosymmetric complexes, [Ln2(dbm)2L2(DMF)2]·2DMF (Ln = Nd (1), Eu (2), Tb (3), Dy (4), Er (5), Yb (6)) and [Dy2(dbm)2L2(CH3OH)2]·2CH3OH (7) (Hdbm = 1,3-diphenyl-1,3-propanedione, H2L = 2-[(2-(amino)benzhydrazide)-methyl]-8-hydroxylquinoline, DMF = dimethyl-formamide) have been synthesized and structurally characterized. Dynamic magnetic studies reveal the slow magnetic relaxation of complexes 4 and 7 are influenced by a fast quantum tunneling relaxation of the magnetization (QTM). However, the different magnetic relaxation behaviors were observed apparently in the two Dy2 complexes under a 3000 Oe dc field and modulated by the subtle change of solvents from DMF to CH3OH. For complex 7, the temperature dependence curves of in-phase (χ′) and out-of-phase (χ″) show better frequency-dependent signals, suggesting a slow relaxation of magnetization, typical of SMM behavior. Fitting the dynamic magnetic data of complex 7 to the Arrhenius law gives the energy barrier Ueff/kB = 44.06 K with the pre-exponential factor τ0 = 2.17 × 10−7 s under a 3000 Oe dc field.
