Dy(iii) zig-zag chains assembled in a 3D framework with single-molecule magnet behaviour†
Abstract
A new lanthanide-based framework, [Dy(STP)(1,2-bdc)]n (1), was constructed. It represents dysprosium(III) 1D zigzag chains in a 3D framework and displays single-molecule magnet (SMM) behaviour with an energy barrier of 55.76 K under zero dc field.
