"Half-sandwich" Yb(III) single-ion magnets with metallacrowns

Chem Commun (Camb). 2015 Jun 28;51(51):10291-4. doi: 10.1039/c5cc03389f.

Abstract

The first "half-sandwich" Yb(III) single-ion magnets (SIMs) based on [12-MCZn(ii)-4] are reported, in which the central ytterbium ion is coordinated by YbO8 geometry in D4d symmetry. The anisotropic barrier is extracted from the analysis of static, dynamic magnetism and emission spectrum offering an insight into the magneto-optical correlation.
