New binuclear cymantrenecarboxylate complexes of rare earth metals, [Ln 2 (μ O,η 2 O 2 CCym) 2 (μ 2 O,O' O 2 CCym) 2 (η 2 O 2 CCym) 2 (DMSO) 4 ] (Ln = Tb (I), Dy (II); Cym = (η 5 C 5 H 4 )Mn(CO) 3 ) and [Ln 2 (μ 2 O,O' O 2 CCym) 4 (η 2 -NO 3 ) 2 (DMSO) 4 ] (Ln = Tb (III), Dy (IV)), are synthe sized and characterized by X ray diffraction analysis. The carboxylate clusters containing the Mn 2+ ion, which is formed due to the destruction of the cymantrenenecarboxylate anion, [Tb 4 (μ 3 OH) 4 (μ 2 O,O' O 2 CCym) 6 (H 2 O) 3 (THF) 4 ][MnCl 4] ⋅ 4CH 2 Cl 2 ⋅ 6THF (V) with the cubane like structure, and [Er 2 Mn(μ 2 O 2 CCym) 6 (η 2 O 2 CCym) 2 ((MeO) 3 PO) 4 ] ⋅ 2MePh (VI) with linear structure, are also obtained. The magne tism of complexes I, II, V, and VI is studied in a direct magnetic field. The magnetic properties of complexes II and VI are studied in direct and alternating magnetic fields. Complex II exhibits the properties of a single molecule magnet. The thermal decomposition of complexes I-IV is studied by differential scanning calorim etry and thermogravimetric analysis. According to the X ray diffraction analysis data, the final thermolysis products of complexes III and IV in air are multiferroics LnMn 2 O 5 .
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
