Exchange Coupling and Magnetic Blocking in Bipyrimidyl Radical-Bridged Dilanthanide Complexes
摘要:
The synthesis and magnetic properties of three new bipyrimidyl radical bridged dilanthanide complexes, [(Cp*(2)Ln)(2)(mu-bpym(center dot))](+) (Ln = Gd, Tb, Dy), are reported. Strong Ln(III)-bpym(center dot-) exchange coupling is observed for all species, as indicated by the increases in chi T-M at low temperatures. For the (GdI)-I-II-containing complex, a fit to the data reveals antiferromagnetic coupling with J = -10 cm(-1) to give an S = 13/2 ground state. The Tb-III and Dy-III congeners show single-Molecule magnet behavior with relaxation barriers of U-eff = 44(2) and 87.8(3) cm(-1), respectively, a consequence of the large magnetic anisotropies-imparted by these ions. Significantly, the latter Complex exhibits a divergence of the field cooled and zero-field-cooled dc susceptibility data at 6.5 K and magnetic hysteresis below this temperature.

Two dysprosium complexes bearing unsupported Dy–Ge/Sn metal–metalbonds are reported here, wherein the Dy–Ge and Dy–Sn bonds both contain relatively large covalency. The complexes exhibit slow relaxation of magnetization at zero field with energy barriers of 485 and 620 K, respectively, and the blocking temperature of 6 K.
