Abstract

Five isostructural tetranuclear lanthanide complexes with the general formula [Ln4(teaH2)2(teaH)2(NO3)6]·2CH3OH [Ln3+ = Dy3+ (1), Tb3+ (2), Ho3+ (3), Er3+ (4), and Gd3+ (5)] were successfully synthesized by the reaction of various lanthanide nitrate and triethanolamine (teaH3) ligand. Single crystal X‐ray analyses reveal the eight‐coordinate Ln3+ centers adopt a slightly distorted triangular dodecahedron geometry and nine‐coordinate Ln3+ ions own an approximately capped square antiprism environment in similar zigzag Ln4 core. Magnetic studies demonstrate the presence of anitferromagnetic interactions between Ln3+ centers without obvious SMM behavior.
