Benzoxazole-Based Heterometallic Dodecanuclear Complex [(Dy4Cu8II)-Cu-III] with Single-Molecule-Magnet Behavior
Three Cu-Ln (Ln = Dy, Gd, Y) dodecanuclear clusters assembled by a novel ligand of the benzoxazole type are reported. The dysprosium cluster exhibits a frequency dependence of the alternating-current susceptibility and hysteresis loop at low temperature, indicating single-molecule-magnet behavior.
