Sandwich-type tetrakis(phthalocyaninato) dysprosium–cadmium quadruple-decker SMM†
Abstract
Homoleptic tetrakis[2,3,9,10,16,17,23,24-octa(butyloxy)phthalocyaninato] dysprosium–cadmium quadruple-decker complex 1 was isolated in relatively good yield of 43% from a simple one-pot reaction. This compound represents the first sandwich-type tetrakis(phthalocyaninato) rare earth–cadmium quadruple-decker SMM that has been structurally characterized.
