Two new three-dimensional isostructural lanthanide metal-organic frameworks (Ln(III)-MOFs), [LnL(HO)]·3HO·0.75DMF (1-Ln; Ln = Dy(III) and Eu(III) ions, HL = biphenyl-3'-nitro-3,4',5-tricarboxylic acid, DMF = N,N'-dimethylformamide), were synthesized and characterized. The appearance of temperature-dependent out-of-phase (χ″) signal reveals that complex 1-Dy displays slow magnetic relaxation behavior with the energy barrier (ΔU) of 57 K and a pre-exponential factor (τ) of 3.
