Six Dy(III) single-ion magnets (SIMs) [Dy(n-OMe-bbpen)X] were synthesized by a solvothermal reaction with three positional isomers (ortho, meta, and para) of ligands n-OMe-H2bbpen and dysprosium halides DyX3, (n-OMe-H2bbpen = N,N′-bis(2-hydroxy-n-methoxybenzyl)-N,N′-bis(2-methylpyridyl)ethylenediamine; n = 3, X = Cl, 1; n = 3, X = Br, 2; n = 4, X = Cl, 3; n = 4, X = Br, 4; n = 5, X = Cl, 5; n = 5, X = Br, 6). Dynamic magnetic measurements revealed that the six complexes possess notably different effective barriers of magnetic reversal: 872.0 K (1), 1210.1 K (2), 137.9 K (3), 602.6 K (4), 907.0 K (5) and 1216.7 K (6). 6 showed the best performance as SIMs among the six Dy(III) complexes. Moreover, the magnetic hysteresis loops of 6 remained open at 21 K. The crystal structures indicate the switching of local symmetry around Dy(III) ion, aroused by the variation in intermol. interactions and steric effects. This switch is primarily correlated with the distinction of magnetic properties. In addition, ab initio calculations confirmed that the different electrostatic potential around Dy(III) ion stemming from the electronic effect of the OMe-substituted group is another factor leading to the distinction in magnetic properties. This work warns us that when designing ligands for Dy-SIMs, the effect of positional isomerism on magnetic performance must be considered, which is one of the factors that can easily be overlooked.2-Hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde(cas: 673-22-3Category: ethers-buliding-blocks) was used in this study.
2-Hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde(cas: 673-22-3) is employed in the synthesis of Schiff base ligand. It is applied as a reactant in the synthesis of LPA1R antagonists used in the inhibition of LPA-induced proliferation and contraction of normal human lung fibroblasts. Also used in the synthesis of tyrosine kinase 6 proteinase inhibitors.Category: ethers-buliding-blocks
