Luminescent single-molecule magnets based on lanthanides: Design strategies, recent advances and magneto-luminescent studies

Mixed Tb/Dy coordination ladders based on tetra(carboxymethyl)thiacalix[4]arene: a new avenue towards luminescent molecular nanomagnets

“…Therefore, this series of new coordination polymers can be considered as a novel source of bifunctional magnetoluminescent molecule-based materials. 85 We present a novel and elegant pathway for the construction of luminescent molecular nanomagnets by the incorporation of lanthanide ions in coordination chains based on functionalized thiacalix [4] arene ligands.…”

Luminescence‐Driven Electronic Structure Determination in a Textbook Dimeric DyIII‐Based Single‐Molecule Magnet

“…[19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26] These results triggered anew interest into high-resolution luminescence measurements in order to experimentally establish the complete diagram of luminescentS MMs. Althoughc lassical,s uch determination can be quite tricky because of the presence of "extra-transitions"i nt he luminescence spectra,a ssigned sometimes too rapidlyt o" hot bands" or vibronic transitions [3,27,28] (see also ref. [29][30][31] forDy III ).…”

[5×1 + 1×1] Hexanuclear Lanthanide(III) Cocrystal Complexes: Syntheses, Structures, and Magnetic Properties

“…Most recently, Liu and co‐workers has reported molecular magnet behavior of cocrystal containing a tetranuclear metallocage and mononuclear Dy III ‐radical complex . As a matter of fact, there has been a ever‐present interest in the field of lanthanide coordination chemistry due to their promising applications for the development of catalysts and photoluminescent and molecular magnetic materials. Also, multifunctional sensors based on lanthanide complexes have received much attention due to their unique luminescence properties arising from the 4f electrons of Ln(III) ions, large Stokes shift, long lifetimes and sharp emission property .…”
