Category: alcohols-buliding-blocks. The article was titled 《Synthesis, crystal structures and magnetic properties of a series of chair-like heterometallic [Fe4Ln2] (Ln = GdIII, DyIII, HoIII, and ErIII) complexes with mixed organic ligands》. The information in the text is summarized as follows:
Four chair-like hexanuclear Fe-Ln complexes containing mixed organic ligands, namely, [Fe4Ln2{(py)2CO2}4(pdm)2(NO3)2(H2O)2Cl4]·xCH3CN·yH2O (Ln = GdIII (1, x = 1, y = 0), DyIII (2, x = 1, y = 1), HoIII (3, x = 0, y = 2), and ErIII (4, x = 1, y = 3); (py)2CO2H2 = the gem-diol form of di-2-pyridyl ketone and pdmH2 = 2,6-pyridinedimethanol) were obtained by employing di-2-pyridyl ketone and 2,6-pyridinedimethanol reacting with FeCl3 and Ln(NO3)3 in MeCN. The structures of 1-4 are similar to each other except for the number of lattice solvent mols. Four FeIII and two LnIII in these complexes comprise a chair-like core with the body constructed by four FeIII ions and the end constructed by two LnIII ions. Among the four compounds, 2 shows field-induced single mol. magnet behavior as revealed by a.c. magnetic susceptibility studies, with the effective energy barrier and the pre-exponential factor of 22.07 K and 8.44 × 10-7 s, resp. Ab initio calculations indicated that, among 2_Dy, 3_Ho and 4_Er fragments, the energy gap between the lowest two spin-orbit states for 2_Dy is the largest, while the tunneling gap for 2 is the smallest. These might be the reasons for complex 2 exhibiting SMM behavior. Addnl., the orientations of the magnetic anisotropy of DyIII in 2 were obtained by electrostatic calculations and ab initio calculations, both indicating that the directions of the main magnetic axis of Dy1 ions are almost aligned along Dy1-O5 (O5 from the pdm2- ligand).
