In search of 3d/4f-metal single-molecule magnets: Nickel(II)/lanthanide(III) coordination clusters

Abstract: The importance of 3d/4f-metal cluster chemistry is outlined, and the employment of 2-pyridyl ketone- and 2-pyridyl oxime-based ligands for the preparation of low-nuclearity NiII/LnIII complexes (Ln = lanthanide) is reviewed. The synthetic utility of the “metal complexes as ligands” and “one-pot” approaches is critically discussed. The small nuclearity of the products permits the in-depth analysis of their magnetic properties.

“…We have developed an intense interest in the synthesis of 3d/4f metal clusters by the employment of various pyridyl oximate-and alkoxide-containing ligands; these research efforts have yielded a variety of new mixed-metal species with interesting structural features and magnetic properties, including Ni 8 Dy 8 [38,39], Ni 2 Ln 2 [40], Ni 3 Ln [26], Ni 2 Ln [36,37,40], Mn 4 Ln 2 [41], etc. Restricting further discussion to the use of (py) 2 CO in this field, we recently reported the first Mn/4f compounds, which belong to a family of cross-shaped Mn 4 Ln 2 clusters, where some of them exhibit slow relaxation of magnetization; whereas, in the past, we reported the first Ni/4f compounds with the monoanionic form of (py) 2 CO. Wishing to expand this work, we recently decided to investigate the previously unexplored reaction system of Co 2+ /Ln 3+ /(py) 2 CO.…”

“…Thus, it is essential that ligands with high bridging capability that have the potential to lead to species with unprecedented metal topologies and/or high nuclearity SBUs be introduced into this field; to this purpose, we decided to use 2-pyridyl oximes for the isolation and characterization of new MOFs and coordination polymers. 2-pyridyl oximes is a family of ligands that have been extensively used in metal cluster chemistry due to their ability to bridge a large number of metal ions and, often, promote ferromagnetic interactions between the metal centers [ 82 , 83 , 84 , 85 , 86 , 87 , 88 , 89 , 90 , 91 , 92 , 93 , 94 , 95 ]. Although the use of such ligands has led to significant breakthroughs in the areas of single-molecule and single-chain magnetism, they have never been employed for MOF synthesis [ 82 , 83 , 84 , 85 , 86 , 87 , 88 , 89 , 90 , 91 , 92 , 93 , 94 , 95 ].…”

“…Transition metal – lanthanides(3d–4f) mixed metal complexes have gained increased attention in the recent past due to their exotic applications in the magnetism, fluorescent sensors and catalysis . The most important reason to chemists for continuous synthesis of mixed metal complexes is due to the urge to explore highly interesting magneto‐chemistry such as construction of Single‐molecule magnets (SMMs), magnetic refrigerants, 3D molecule based magnets and single chain magnets . The SMMs have been in the forefront of magneto‐chemistry due to their potential applications in the data processing and storage on nano‐size magnetic devices.…”
