Investigation of the slow relaxation of the magnetization dynamics in homoleptic ene-diamido organodysprosium(iii) complexes with K+/arene interactions†
Abstract
We report the synthesis, structure and magnetic investigations of two new Dy3+ homoleptic ate-complexes based on different ene-diamido ligands [K(THF)2][Dy(DAD2R)2] (R = H (1), Me (2) DAD2R = [2,6-iPr2C6H3N–CRCR–NC6H3iPr2-2,6] showing K+/arene interactions. Magnetic investigations reval that both compounds exhibit a zero-field single-molecule magnetic relaxation mainly governed by a Raman process.
