Lanthanide–Nitronyl Nitroxide Chains Derived from Multidentate Nitronyl Nitroxides (original) (raw)

2018, Inorganic Chemistry

In this contribution we report the synthesis, structure and magnetic properties of a family of lanthanidebased one dimensional compounds [Ln(hfac) 3 (NaphNN)] n , where Ln III ¼ Gd (1), Dy(2), Tb(3) and NaphNN is the nitronyl nitroxide (NN) radical 2-(1 0-naphthalenyl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethyl-4,5-dihydro-1H-Imidazole-3-oxide-1-oxyl. The crystal structure reveals well isolated chains with a twofold helical axis. Magnetic investigation of the gadolinium(III) chains showed relevant intrachain interactions between Gd-NN nearest neighbors and also Gd-Gd and NN-NN next nearest neighbors. The magnetic interaction parameters were obtained by fitting the data with a six membered ring model. The stronger antiferromagnetic interaction between NN radicals was confirmed by investigation of the mononuclear complex [Y(hfac) 3 (NaphNN) 2 ] (4) with a similar coordination environment. The dynamic magnetic properties of 2 and 3 were investigated by using the temperature and frequency dependence of the magnetic susceptibility evidencing single chain magnet dynamics under a zero dc field.
