Pentagonal-Bipyramid Ln(III) Complexes Exhibiting Single-Ion-Magnet Behavior: A Rational Synthetic Approach for a Rigid Equatorial Plane
A pentadentate chelating ligand is employed for the facile synthesis of air-stable pentagonal-bipyramid Ln(III) complexes with a rigid equatorial plane. The Dy(III) analogue exhibits single-ion-magnet behavior with U-eff/k(B) = 70 K under H-dc = 500 Oe.
