We report the synthesis, structure and magnetic properties of the first rare earth complexes of metalloid group 14 clusters [(thf)2Ln(Ge9Hyp3)2] (Ln = Eu, Sm, Hyp = Si(SiMe3)3). X-ray crystallographic analysis...
The magnetic properties of complexes based on a Schiff base ligand H2L can be modulated by subtle changes in the coordination environment resulting from changes in the co-ligand substituents.
Six LnIII–furan-biradical tri-spin complexes have been synthesized, they exhibit interesting magnetic properties. DyIIIcomplex shows frequency-dependent ac magnetic susceptibilities, which suggests the presence of slow magnetic relaxation.
The complexes [BQ(MCl2·THF3)2] (M = Y or Dy) possessing pentagonal bipyramidal environment around metal centers undergo significant thermal expansion as revealed by single-crystal X-ray and powder diffraction experiments.
