Lanthanide Single Molecule Magnets

Abstract

To date, a great number of lanthanide SMMs have been reported through applying rigid mixed-donor hydrazone ligands which can be modified very easily by altering the hydrazide or aldehyde parts. This chapter first focuses on two typical polynuclear Dy complexes which greatly contribute to the elucidation of two-step relaxation model and are subsequently devoted to the constructions of lanthanide SMMs based on the different hydrazide parts and their magnetic analysis. Therefore, the assembly of hydrazone ligands with lanthanide salts under different conditions turns out to be an effective way to discover new lanthanide SMMs and to explore the origin of complicated magnetic dynamics.
