Summary: | Taking advantage of the pentaethylene glycol (EO5) and deprotonation of EO5, a family of new structurally hexagonal bipyramidal Dy(III) complexes, [Dy(EO5)(2,6-dichloro-4-nitro-PhO)2](2,6-dichloro-4-nitro-PhO) (1), [Dy(EO5-BPh2)(2,6-dichloro-4-nitro-PhO)2] (2), and [Dy(EO5-BPh2)(2,6-dichloro-4-nitro-PhO)Cl] (3), were controbllably synthesized and structurally characterized. Magnetic measurements show that complex 1 is a zero-field SIM and has an observable hysteresis opening up to 4 K. Conversely, only under extra magnetic field is slow magnetic relaxation observed in 2 and 3. This considerable difference in the magnetic behavior is mainly caused by the change of the equatorial negative charge. Detailed ab initio calculations further elucidate that the quantum tunneling is induced by the presence of equatorial negative charge, and the magnetic anisotropy depends on the axial ligands. This work demonstrates that the absence of the equatorial negative charge should also be considered in the rational design of promising single molecular magnets based on the oblate ions. |
