Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

Magnetic anisotropy is central to the characteristics of magnetic materials. Over the past 15 years or so, it has been the driving force behind work in the field of molecular magnetism. The combined efforts of chemists, physicists, and theorists now enable us to manipulate it deliberately through coordination chemistry, and this control has led to dazzling progress in the performance of nanomagnets, SMM, and SCM. Traditional magnets are not to be outdone, whether they are molecular materials or inorganic nanoparticles.

The aim of this Special Issue is to provide an overview of the latest knowledge, approaches, and developments related to magnetic anisotropy, and the resulting materials and properties. The idea is to provide a newcomer to the field with easy access to the various facets of this property, both from a theoretical and experimental point of view. To this end, we are seeking tutorials and research papers on magnetic anisotropy in coordination compounds and the materials derived from them: SIM, SMM, SCM, nanoparticles, traditional magnets, etc.

Crystal Structure and Magnetic Properties of Peacock–Weakley Type Polyoxometalates Na9[Ln(W5O18)2] (Ln = Tm, Yb): Rare Example of Tm(III) SMM

Abstract
We report Peacock–Weakley complexes, Na9[Ln(W5O18)2]∙35H2O, formed with Tm(III), 1, and Yb(III), 2. Their syntheses, physico-chemical characterizations, crystal structures, and magnetic properties are described. Ab initio calculations are also reported. These polyoxometalate [...] Read more.
We report Peacock–Weakley complexes, Na9[Ln(W5O18)2]∙35H2O, formed with Tm(III), 1, and Yb(III), 2. Their syntheses, physico-chemical characterizations, crystal structures, and magnetic properties are described. Ab initio calculations are also reported. These polyoxometalate (POM) complexes were obtained using original synthetic conditions where acidification was performed with a stoichiometric amount of nitric acid to an acidity of Z = ν(H+)/ν(WO42–) = 8/10 = 0.80. Both the Tm(III) and Yb(III) derivatives were found to exhibit field-induced slow relaxation of their magnetization likely controlled by Raman and Orbach relaxation processes. 1 is a rare example of a Tm(III)-based single-molecule magnet (SMM) and is a consequence of the oblate tetragonal anti-prismatic symmetry of the coordination sphere.

Employing a new nitronyl nitroxide biradical NITPhPzbis(NITPhPzbis = 5-(1-pyrazolyl)-1,3-bis(1’-oxyl-3’-oxido-4’,4’,5’,5’-tetramethyl-4,5-hydro-1H-imidazol-2-yl)benzene), a series of 2p-4f complexes [Ln2(hfac)6(H2O)(NITPhPzbis)] (LnIII = Gd1, Tb2, Dy3; hfac = hexafluoroacetylacetonate) were successfully [...] Read more.
Employing a new nitronyl nitroxide biradical NITPhPzbis(NITPhPzbis = 5-(1-pyrazolyl)-1,3-bis(1’-oxyl-3’-oxido-4’,4’,5’,5’-tetramethyl-4,5-hydro-1H-imidazol-2-yl)benzene), a series of 2p-4f complexes [Ln2(hfac)6(H2O)(NITPhPzbis)] (LnIII = Gd1, Tb2, Dy3; hfac = hexafluoroacetylacetonate) were successfully synthesized. In complexes 1–3, the designed biradical NITPhPzbis coordinates with two LnIII ions in chelating and bridging modes to form a four-spin binuclear structure. Direct-current magnetic study of Gd analogue indicates that ferromagnetic exchange exists between the Gd ion and the radical while antiferromagnetic coupling dominates between two mono-radicals. Dynamic magnetic data show that the χ” signals of complex 3 exhibit frequency dependence under zero field, demonstrating slow magnetic relaxation behavior in complex 3. And the estimated values of Ueff and τ0 are about 8.4 K and 9.1 × 10−8 s, respectively. Full article

The complexes [Dy2(tta)6(H2SQ)] (Dy-H2SQ) and [Dy2(tta)6(Q)]·2CH2Cl2 (Dy-Q) (tta− = 2-thenoyltrifluoroacetonate) were obtained from the coordination reaction of the Dy(tta)3·2H2O units with the 2,2′-benzene-1,4-diylbis(6-hydroxy-4,7-di-tert-butyl-1,3-benzodithiol-2-ylium-5-olate ligand (H2SQ) and its oxidized form 2,2′-cyclohexa-2,5-diene-1,4-diylidenebis(4,7-di-tert-butyl-1,3-benzodithiole-5,6-dione (Q). The chemical oxidation of H2SQ in Q induced an increase in the coordination number from 7 to 8 around the DyIII ions and by consequence a modulation of the field-induced Single-Molecule Magnet behavior. Computational results rationalized the magnetic properties of each of the dinuclear complexes. Full article

This publication reviews recent advances in polarized neutron diffraction (PND) studies of magnetic anisotropy in coordination compounds comprising d or f elements and having different nuclearities. All these studies illustrate the extent to which PND can provide precise and direct information on the relationship between molecular structure and the shape and axes of magnetic anisotropy of the individual metal sites. It makes this experimental technique (PND) an excellent tool to help in the design of molecular-based magnets and especially single-molecule magnets for which strong uniaxial magnetic anisotropy is required.

Single-molecule magnets involving monometallic 4f complexes have been investigated extensively in last two decades to understand the factors that govern the slow magnetization relaxation behavior in these complexes and to establish a magneto-structural correlation. The prime goal in this direction is to suppress the temperature independent quantum tunneling of magnetization (QTM) effect via fine-tuning the coordination geometry/microenvironment. Among the various coordination geometries that have been pursued, complexes containing high coordination number around Ln(III) are sparse. Herein, we present a summary of the various synthetic strategies that were used for the assembly of 10- and 12-coordinated Ln(III) complexes. The magnetic properties of such complexes are also described. Full article
