A novel gadolinium triple-decker sandwich-type complex containing tetrabenzoporphyrin (TBP) ligands-Gd (TBP)3was prepared from porphyrin 1 and Gd (acac)3.nH2O in boiling 1, 2, 4-Tcb for 45~48 h under Ar. Its structure is characterized by Uv-Vis spectroscopy and HR-MS. The spectroscopic properties show that its longest-wavelength visible band (600-800 nm) is obviously red-shifted due to the extension of the π conjugated systems derived from the linear benzoannulation in the TBP ring. The magnetic studies also indicate that there is no magnetic interactions between two Gd (III) ions in the triple-deckers in the range from room temperature down to 20K and very weak antiferromagnetic coupling exists between two Gd (III) ions below 20K.
