Abstract

Two new homoleptic DyIII compounds [Dy(TpMe2)2][DyCl3(TpMe2)]·CH2Cl2 (1) and [Dy(TpMe2)2]I (3) as well as a heteroleptic (NMe4)[DyCl3(TpMe2)] (2) (TpMe2 = tris(3,5-dimethylpyrazolyl)borate) species are reported. Magnetic studies revealed that 1 is a single-molecule magnet (SMM) with an energy barrier of Ueff = 80.7 K with τ0 = 6.2 × 10−7 s under a zero applied field. Compound 3 exhibits a Ueff of 13.5 K with τ0 = 1.6 × 10−6 s under a 0.08 T applied field. Ab initio CASSCF + RASSI-SO calculations were performed to further investigate the magnetic behavior of complexes 1–3. The results support experimental magnetic data for 1 and 3 and indicate that an intermolecular dipolar interaction of (zJ = −0.1 cm−1) is responsible for the SMM behavior of 1.
