Abstract

A novel mixed-valent heterometallic pentanuclear CoIII 3CoIIDyIII cluster has been rationally assembled taking advantage of a bifunctional ligand with o-vanillin and tripodal tris(hydroxymethyl)aminomethane units. This unique heterometallic cluster represents a rare example of T-shaped molecules exhibiting slow magnetic relaxation.
