A W-shaped {Ga-Dy-Dy-Dy-Ga} coordination cluster, [Ga2 Dy3 (L)6 (MeO)2 (MeOH)3 ]⋅NO3 ⋅7 MeOH (1) with H2 L, (E)-2-(2-hydroxy-3-methoxy-benzylideneamino)phenol was synthesized, characterized, and the magnetic properties investigated. The magnetic measurements indicate that the compound shows single-molecule magnet (SMM) behavior under zero dc field. This suggests that the combination of GaIII ions and DyIII ions (4 f) is a successful strategy to assemble SMM clusters. The combination of these metal ions also offers prospects in dual functionality therapeutics for medical applications.

W形的Ga-Dy-Dy-Dy-Ga团簇：合成，表征和磁性能。

W形{Ga-Dy-Dy-Dy-Ga}配位簇[Ga2 Dy3（L）6（MeO）2（MeOH）3]·NO3·7 MeOH（1）和H2 L，（E）-合成了2-（2-羟基-3-甲氧基-亚苄基氨基）苯酚，进行了表征，并研究了磁性。磁测量表明该化合物在零直流磁场下表现出单分子磁体（SMM）行为。这表明GaIII离子和DyIII离子（4 f）的组合是组装SMM簇的成功策略。这些金属离子的组合还为医疗应用的双功能疗法提供了前景。
