Abstract
Two new sandwich-type heterometallic ZnII-LnIII clusters based on a methoxy substituted salicylamide Salen-like ligand, [Zn2Er3(HL)2(H2L)2(OH)2(NO3)3](NO3)2·2CH3OH (Zn2Er3), [Zn2Yb3(HL)2(H2L)2(OH)2 (NO3)3](NO3)2·2CH3OH (Zn2Yb3), H3L=1-(2-hydroxy-4-methoxy-benzamido)-2-(2-hydroxy-3-methoxy-benzylideneamino)-ethane, were prepared and structurally characterized. Single-crystal structure analyses reveal that both compounds are pentanuclear clusters with a hydroxyl bridged trinuclear LnIII3 core swaddled by two ZnII ions, two singly deprotoned H2L− ligands, two doubly deprotoned HL− ligands and three nitrate anions. Photophysical determination indicates that the two ZnII-LnIII compounds display both ligand-centered and near-infrared emission. The magnetic susceptibility measurements reveal that Zn2Er3 displays antiferromagnetic interactions with zero field slow magnetization relaxation diagnostic of single-molecule-magnet (SMM).
