Modulating the Slow Relaxation Dynamics of Binuclear Dysprosium(III) Complexes through Coordination Geometry

چکیده
A class of two dinuclear dysprosium based complexes 1 and 2 were synthesized by employing salicyloylhydrazone derived pentadentate ligand (L). Structural analysis reveals that in complex 1, two DyIII centers are in muffin (Cs) coordination geometry while in 2, one DyIII center is in bicapped square antiprism (D4d) and other one is in triangular dodecahedron (D2d) coordination geometry. AC magnetic susceptibility measurements disclose that complexes 1 and 2 exhibit single-molecule magnet (SMM) behavior, with effective energy barrier of 36.4 and 9.7 K, respectively. The overall studies reveal that small differences in the coordination environment around the DyIII centers played a significant role in the difference in relaxation dynamics of the complexes. In order to elucidate the role of intermolecular interactions between nearby DyIII centers in the magnetic relaxation behavior, a diamagnetic isostructural YIII analog (3) was synthesized and magnetic behavior was examined.

Slow magnetic relaxation in tris(diphosphanylamido) and tetra(phosphanoamido) dysprosium complexes.
Two homoleptic phosphanylamido dysprosium complexes [Li(THF)4][(Ph2PNPh)4Dy] and [Dy{N(PPh2)2}3] have been synthesized. Both have a highly symmetric arrangement of the ligand which is only slightly broken in the solid state by steric and packing effects as a result of the weak coordination of phosphorus atoms to the metal centre. Magnetic properties of these two compounds are similar with both ...
متن کاملA comparison of the effects of symmetry and magnetoanisotropy on paramagnetic relaxation in related dysprosium single ion magnets.
Dysprosium complexes of the tmtaa(2-) ligand were synthesized and characterized by X-band EPR and magnetism studies. Both complexes demonstrate magnetoanisotropy and slow paramagnetic relaxation. Comparison of these compounds with the seminal phthalocyanine complex [Dy(Pc)(2)](-) shows the azaannulide complexes are more susceptible to relaxation through non-thermal pathways.

متن کاملChemical tuning of the magnetic relaxation in dysprosium(iii) mononuclear complexes.
A dysprosium(iii) complex, exhibiting slow relaxation of magnetization, was prepared. Crystallographic studies showed a perturbation of local symmetry upon deprotonation of the ligand, with concomitant faster relaxation of magnetization. This was attributed to a large shift in the direction of the main magnetic axis, as indicated by ab initio calculations.

Correlation between molecular structures and slow relaxation of magnetization of three mixed (phthalocyaninato)(porphyrinato) dysprosium(III) double-deckers clearly reveals the effect of the sandwich-type molecular structure, in particular the twist angle, on the quantum tunneling (QT) at zero dc field of these complexes, providing the first direct evidence to the theoretical inference.
