Abstract:
The two first representatives of phthalocyaninato (Pc) lanthanide-ligated polyoxovanadate cages {[V12O32(Cl)](LnPc)n}n-5 (n = 1 or 2, Ln = Yb3+) were synthesised and fully characterised. These magnetic complexes form two-dimensional self-assembled monolayers exhibiting electrical conductivity on gold substrate surfaces, as assessed by using an EGaIn tip.
