Lanthanide(III) complexes of a cross-bridged cyclam derivative containing two picolinate pendant arms are kinetically inert in very harsh conditions such as 2 M HCl, with no dissociation being observed for at least 5 months. Importantly, the [Ln(dota)](-) complexes, which are recognized to be extremely inert, dissociate under these conditions with lifetimes in the range ca. 1 min to 12 h depending upon the Ln(3+) ion. X-ray diffraction studies reveal octadentate binding of the ligand to the metal ion in the [Eu(cb-tedpa)](+) complex, while (1)H and (13)C NMR experiments in D2O point to the presence of a single diastereoisomer in solution with a very rigid structure. The structure of the complexes in the solid state is retained in solution, as demonstrated by the analysis of the Yb(3+)-induced paramagnetic shifts.

The design and synthesis of novel lanthanide-based coordination polymers (Ln-CPs) from flexible organic ligands is still attractive and challenging. In this work, two isostructural Ln-CPs with a unique 2D network, namely, [Ln(HL)(DMF)]] (Ln = Dy for , Tb for ) based on a flexible polycarboxylic acid ligand hexakis(4-carboxylato-phenoxy)cyclotriphosphazene (HL), have been solvothermally synthesized and structurally characterized. Significantly, it is the first observation of polycarboxylic acid ligands participating in coordination in the construction of coordination polymers in the form of semi-deprotonation.

Radical lanthanide complexes are appealing platforms to investigate the possibility to engineer relevant magnetic couplings between the two magnetic centers by exploiting the strongly donating magnetic orbitals of the radical. In this paper, we report a spectroscopic and magnetic study on [LnRad(NO)], where Ln = Eu or Lu and Rad is the tridentate tripodal nitroxyl radical 4,4-dimethyl-2,2-bis(pyridin-2-yl)-1,3-oxazolidine-3-oxyl. A thorough magnetic investigation by Electron Paramagnetic Resonance (EPR) spectroscopy and magnetometry, fully supported by calculations, allowed us to unravel an unprecedentedly large antiferromagnetic coupling between the Eu and the radical ( = +19.

Modulation of the crystal field (CF) in lanthanide (Ln) complexes can enhance optical and magnetic properties, and large CF splitting can be achieved with low coordination numbers in specific geometries. We previously reported that the homoleptic near-linear Sm complex [Sm{N(SiPr)}] () is oxidized by the 2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidinyl-1-oxy (TEMPO) radical to give the heteroleptic, approximately trigonal planar Sm complex, [Sm{N(SiPr)}(TEMPO)] (). Here, we report the synthesis of homologous [Ln{N(SiPr)}(TEMPO)] (; Ln = Tm, Yb) complexes by the oxidation of the parent [Ln{N(SiPr)}] (; Ln = Tm, Yb) with TEMPO; complexes all contain TEMPO anions.

Binary systems of lanthanide ions (La, Nd, Gd, Ho, Tb, and Lu) with L-malic acid in molar ratios of 1:1 and 1:2 were studied. This study was carried out in aqueous solutions, and the composition of the formed complexes was confirmed using computer data analysis. The overall stability constants of the complexes and the equilibrium constants of the reaction were determined.

We present a synergistic experimental-theoretical methodology for the investigation of lanthanide-based single-molecule magnets (SMMs), demonstrated using the example of novel heterometallic molecules incorporating Nd/Ce ions combined with three different, rarely explored, pentacyanidocobaltate(III) metalloligands, [Co(CN)(azido/nitrito-/iodido)]. The theoretical part of our approach broadens the exploration of calculations for lanthanide(III) complexes toward the convenient simulations of such physical characteristics as directional dependences of Helmholtz energy, magnetization, susceptibility, and their thermal and field evolution, as well as light absorption and emission bands. This work was conducted using newly designed SlothPy software (https://slothpy.
