Abstract

Three novel isostructural Zn2Ln2 cluster complexes with carbonate bridging ligands, {Zn2Ln2(μ3-CO3)2L2(acacF6)2}·CH3OH [H2L = N,N′-dimethyl-N,N′-(2-hydroxy-3-methoxy-5-methyl-benzyl)ethylenediamine; HacacF6 = hexafluoroacetylacetone; Ln = Dy, 1; Ln = Gd, 2; Ln = Eu, 3], have been prepared by fixing carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. Such carbonate bridging ligands may mediate ferromagnetic exchange between Ln3+ ions. The Zn2Dy2 compound (1) displays the properties of a single molecule magnet (SMM), showing slow magnetic relaxation at a 1500 Oe dc field, with an obviously larger Ueff/k value (83 K) with respect to the other carbonate-bridged Zn2Dy2 SMMs (≤34 K) and ZnDy dinuclear SMMs derived from the same ligand H2L used in this work (≤36.5 K), while the Zn2Gd2 compound (2) shows a moderate magnetocaloric effect and can be looked upon as a potential molecular material for low temperature magnetic refrigeration.
