Key Parameter

We report a six coordinate DyIII single-molecule magnet (SMM) with an energy barrier of 1110 K for thermal relaxation of magnetization. The sample shows no retention of magnetization even at 2 K and this led us to find a good correlation between the blocking temperature and the Raman relaxation regime for SMMs. The key parameter is the relaxation time (𝜏switch) at the point where the Raman relaxation mechanism becomes more important than Orbach.

Slow Magnetic Relaxation

Polyoxometalates are robust and versatile multidentate oxygen-donor ligands, eminently suitable for coordination to trivalent lanthanoid ions. To date, 10 very different structural families of such complexes have been found to exhibit slow magnetic relaxation due to single-molecule magnet (SMM) behaviour associated with the lanthanoid ions. These families encompass complexes with between one and four of the later lanthanoid ions: Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, and Yb. The lanthanoid coordination numbers vary between six and eleven and a range of coordination geometries are evident. The highest energy barrier to magnetisation reversal measured to date for a lanthanoid–polyoxometalate SMM is Ueff/kB = 73 K for the heterodinuclear Dy–Eu compound (Bu4N)8H4[DyEu(OH)2(γ-SiW10O36)2].

Reliable Basis

Divalent lanthanide organometallics are well known highly reducing compounds usually used for single electron transfer reactivity and small molecule activation. Thus, their very reactive nature prevented for many years the study of their physical properties, such as magnetic studies on a reliable basis. In this article, the access to rare organometallic sandwich compounds of TmII with the cyclooctatetraenyl (Cot) ligand impacts on the use of divalent organolanthanide compounds as an additional strategy for the design of performing Single Molecule Magnets (SMM). Herein, the first divalent thulium sandwich complex with f13 configuration behaving as a Single Molecule Magnet in absence of DC field is highlighted.
