Substituent change modulates the coordination symmetries and magnetic dynamics of five mononuclear β-diketonate-Dy(iii) complexes with capping N-donor coligands, which is studied by the combination of magnetic investigation and ab initio calculation.

DyIII dimers decorated with photo-isomerizable azobenzene ligands behave as single-molecule magnets and self-organize into a supramolecular chain. Ab initio calculations, magnetic and optical properties are reported.

The complexes [Ln2(hfac)6(L)]·nC6H14 (Ln = Dy (1) n = 0, Yb (2) n = 1) with the L chiral 3,14-di-(2-pyridyl)-4,13-diaza[6]helicene ligand (hfac− = 1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoroacetylacetonate) have been synthesized in their racemic form and structurally and magnetically characterized. Both complexes behave as field-induced single molecule magnets in the crystalline phase. These magnetic properties were rationalized by ab initio calculations.

<p>Organometallic molecules based on [Dy(Cp<sup>R</sup>)<sub>2</sub>]<sup>+</sup> cations have emerged as clear front-runners in the search for high-temperature single-molecule magnets. However, despite a growing family of structurally-similar molecules, these molecules show significant variations in their magnetic properties, demonstrating the importance of understanding magneto-structural relationships towards developing more efficient design strategies. Here we refine our <i>ab initio</i> spin dynamics methodology and show that it is capable of quantitative prediction of relative relaxation rates in the Orbach region. Applying it to all reported [Dy(Cp<sup>R</sup>)<sub>2</sub>]<sup>+</sup> cations allows us to tease out differences in their relaxation dynamics, highlighting that the main discriminant is the magnitude of the crystal field splitting. We subsequently employ the method to predict relaxation rates for a series of hypothetical organometallic sandwich compounds, revealing an upper limit to the effective barrier to magnetic relaxation of around 2200 K, which has been reached. However, we show that further improvements to single-molecule magnets can be made by moving vibrational modes off-resonance with electronic excitations.</p>

Relaxation mechanisms limiting the blocking temperature for high-performance single molecule magnets (SMMs) are investigated. Best SMMs are limited by the exponential regime. Current ab initio methods can yield accurate estimations for this limit.

Three rare octahedral mononuclear DyIII complexes bearing triphenylphosphine oxide and halide ligands are reported. The Cl− and Br− analogues exhibit SMM behavior under a small dc field. Ab initio CASSCF calculations reveal a higher energy barrier for an analogous complex with iodides.
