Abstract:
Structural assembly and reversible transformation between a metallogrid Dy4 SMM (2) and its fragment Dy2 (1) were established in the different solvent media. The zero-field magnetization relaxation was slowed for dysprosium metallogrid (2) with relaxation barrier of Ueff = 61.3 K when compared to Dy2 (1). Both magnetic dilution and application of a moderate magnetic field suppress ground-state quantum tunneling of magnetization and result in an enhanced Ueff of 119.9 and 96.7 K for 2, respectively. Interestingly, the lanthanide metallogrid complex (2) exhibits magnetic hysteresis loop even up to 16 K at a given field sweep rate of 500 Oe/s.

When atoms or molecules absorb light at the proper frequency, their electrons are excited to higher-energy orbitals. For many main group atoms and molecules, the absorbed photons are in the ultraviolet range of the electromagnetic spectrum, which cannot be detected by the human eye. For coordination compounds, the energy difference between the d orbitals often allows photons in the visible range to be absorbed and emitted, which is seen as colors by the human...
