We report the synthesis, structure, and magnetic properties of a new dinuclear dysprosium(III) complex based on a 3-methoxycinnamate ligand. The centrosymmetric complex exhibits a field-induced SMM behavior. In contrast to the previously reported lan...
When using single molecule magnets (SMMs) in spintronics devices, controlling the quantum tunneling of the magnetization (QTM) and spin-lattice interactions is important. To improve the functionality of SMMs, researchers have explored the effects of...
The use of polydentate macrocyclic Lewis bases is a way to contribute to determine the coordination number of metal complexes. In this sense, hexadentate N6 donors can help to achieve lanthanoid complexes with coordination number 8. But the geometry...
