Abstract:The search for mononuclear lanthanoid-based single-ion magnets (SIMs) has increased the interest in some coordination environments with low coordination numbers, in combination with an axial symmetry, as they could maximize the anisotropy of complexes of oblate lanthanoid ions, as dysprosium(III). In this sense, the pentagonal-bipyramid geometry can have ground-state doublets with perfect axiality, and therefore such complexes can be good candidates for SIMs. In our particular case, we have used a well-known o… Show more
