Two {Dy2} single-molecule magnets formed via an in situ reaction by capturing CO2 from atmosphere under ambient conditions

Abstract

Under ambient conditions, CO₂ was captured from atmosphere and reduced for sequestering CO₂ into two {Dy₂} single-molecule magnets through an in situ organic ligand reaction of hydrazine. A reasonable reaction mechanism is proposed, which provides a promising route towards the capturing and transforming CO₂ into single-molecule magnets.
