Within heterodinuclear Ln(iii) complexes, the chirality of the diaminocyclohexane fragment dictates the helicity of the chiral hexaazamacrocycle which is in turn transferred into the helicity of the achiral hexaazamacrocyle.
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...
Two tetraoxolene-bridged dinuclear Dy(iii) complexes exhibit slow relaxation in ac magnetic susceptibility studies with zero-field quantum tunnelling of the magnetisation that is suppressed by the application of a dc magnetic field.
