Chiral bis(phthalocyaninato) terbium double-decker compounds with enhanced single-ion magnetic behavior†
Abstract
Chiral binaphthyl substituents were incorporated onto the phthalocyanine periphery in both homoleptic and heteroleptic bis(phthalocyaninato) terbium single-ion magnets, which exhibit blocking temperatures as high as 15 K and 28 K, respectively, providing an alternative method towards enhancing the magnetic behavior.
