Abstract

Three novel isomorphous complexes of formula [RE(hfac)3(NITPhOCH3)2], where RE = GdIII, YIII and ErIII; hfac = hexafluoroacetylacetonate; NITPhOCH3 = 4′-methoxyphenyl-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide, were synthesized, structurally and magnetically characterized. The crystal structure consists of isolated molecules where the nitronyl nitroxide radicals act as monodentate ligands towards RE(III) through the oxygen atom of the N–O group. The magnetic properties of the complexes were studied by measuring their magnetic susceptibilities at various temperatures in the 5–300 K range. The analyses of these magnetic measurements showed that the spin coupling between the gadolinium ion and the radicals in the GdIII complex is ferromagnetic, while antiferromagnetic superexchange interaction exists between the two radicals in the GdIII and YIII complexes. The ErIII complex reveals an overall intramolecular antiferromagnetic exchange interaction.
