Article Synopsis
- Researchers successfully synthesized a cerium(III) analogue (1-Ce) of a specific lanthanide compound, highlighting its structural comparison with other rare earth materials at low temperatures.
- The focus on the cerium(III) ion is due to its potential for slow magnetic relaxation in certain crystal fields, similar to another compound containing dysprosium(III) (1-Dy).
- However, AC magnetic susceptibility experiments indicated that 1-Ce does not exhibit the expected magnetic behavior, raising doubts about the viability of cerium-based single-molecule magnets (SMMs).
