RT Journal Article T1 ADyIII Complex of a Pentadentate Schiff Base with Field-Induced Single-Ion Magnet Behaviour A1 Corredoira Vázquez, Julio A1 Oreiro-Martínez, Paula A1 García Deibe, Ana María A1 Sanmartín Matalobos, Jesús A1 Fondo Busto, María Matilde K1 Dysprosium K1 Single ion magnet K1 N3O2 pentadentate ligand K1 Schiff base K1 Chloride ligand AB The influence of the solvent in the reaction of dysprosium(III) chloride hydrate with the N3O2 ligand H2L (2,6-bis(2-hydroxyphenyliminomethyl)pyridine) was studied To this end, the new mononuclear chloride complex [Dy(L)Cl(H2O)2] (1) was isolated in absolute ethanol as solvent, without any evidence of the hydrolysis of the ligand. This clearly contrasts with previous results, where a similar reaction in methanol proceeds with the partial hydrolysis of the Schiff base, and the formation of a new hemiacetal donor to yield [Dy(HL’)2)][Dy(L)(Cl2)] (H2L’ = (6-(2-hydroxyphenyliminomethyl)-2-methoxyhydroxymethyl)pyridine). The single crystal X-ray structure of the chloride complex 1 shows that the DyIII ion is octacoordinated in a highly distorted N3O4Cl environment between triangular dodecahedral and biaugmented trigonal prisms. The full magnetic characterisation of 1 shows that it presents field-induced single ion magnet behaviour, with a thermal energy barrier Ueff of 113.5 K, which is the highest among dysprosium complexes derived from H2L.
