Abstract
Two parallelogram-shape tetranuclear rare earth compounds, having the molecular formula {[Ln4(L)2(acac)4(Hthma)2]·2CH3OH·4CH3CN} (Ln = Gd (1), Dy (2); H2L = N'-(2‑hydroxy-5-methylbenzylidene)-6-(hydroxymethyl) picolinohydrazide, acac = acetylacetone, H3thma = 1,1,1-tris(hydroxymethyl)methylamine), were constructed and structurally characterized. The [Ln4O8] core of compounds 1 and 2 are connected collectively by means of two µ2 carbonyl O atoms derived from L2− main ligands, two μ3 as well as two μ2 hydroxyl O atoms originated from two Hthma2− and two µ2 O atoms from two acac−. Magnetic research concluded that 1 displays magnetocaloric effect (−ΔSm = 29.91 J K−1 kg−1) and 2 displays extremely weak antiferromagnetic interaction among neighboring rare earth ions. Single molecule magnet behaviors were possibly detected in 2, however no characteristic maximum was reached above 2 K.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Molecular Structure is dedicated to the publication of full-length articles and review papers, providing important new structural information on all types of chemical species including:
• Stable and unstable molecules in all types of environments (vapour, molecular beam, liquid, solution, liquid crystal, solid state, matrix-isolated, surface-absorbed etc.)
• Chemical intermediates
• Molecules in excited states
• Biological molecules
• Polymers.
The methods used may include any combination of spectroscopic and non-spectroscopic techniques, for example:
• Infrared spectroscopy (mid, far, near)
• Raman spectroscopy and non-linear Raman methods (CARS, etc.)
• Electronic absorption spectroscopy
• Optical rotatory dispersion and circular dichroism
• Fluorescence and phosphorescence techniques
• Electron spectroscopies (PES, XPS), EXAFS, etc.
• Microwave spectroscopy
• Electron diffraction
• NMR and ESR spectroscopies
• Mössbauer spectroscopy
• X-ray crystallography
• Charge Density Analyses
• Computational Studies (supplementing experimental methods)
We encourage publications combining theoretical and experimental approaches. The structural insights gained by the studies should be correlated with the properties, activity and/ or reactivity of the molecule under investigation and the relevance of this molecule and its implications should be discussed.
