A linear trinuclear ferrous complex [FeII3(pymp)4(MeOH)2][BPh4]2·2MeOH (1) (Hpymp = 2-[(pyridine-2-ylimine)-methyl]phenol) was isolated and characterized both structurally and magnetically. A magnetic study revealed the ferromagnetic coupling (J = +3.54 cm-1) within the [FeII3] units and uniaxial magnetic anisotropy (D = -1.21 cm-1) of the molecule. Slow relaxation of the magnetization at below 5 K and an effective energy barrier of 26.0(2) cm-1 under a 1200 Oe applied dc field were evidenced. Moreover, clear magnetic hysteresis loops were observed at below 2.5 K, which further corroborated the single-molecule magnet behavior of 1.

A relatively unexplored approach in heterometallic chemistry of transition metals and lanthanides has been developed toward the controlled synthesis of a new family of linear heterotrinuclear Ln(III)-Pd(II)-Ln(III) complexes with the general formula [LnPd(pao)(NO)(MeOH)(HO)]·[Pd(pao)], where Ln = Dy (2), Gd (3), Er (4) and Yb (5). This strategy was based on the diamagnetic 'metalloligand' [Pd(pao)] (1), where pao is the anion of 2-pyridinealdoxime, containing two dangling oximate O-atoms which were to each other and available for binding with oxophilic lanthanide ions. Because of their -configuration, the [Pd(pao)] 'metalloligand' was able to direct the binding of two {Ln(NO)(MeOH)(HO)} units on opposite sites, thus yielding the reported trinuclear {Ln-Pd-Ln} clusters.

The copper-catalyzed azide-alkyne cycloaddition (CuAAC) has heralded a new era of chemical biology and biomedicine. However, caveats of the CuAAC include formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and other copper-related toxicity. This limits utility in sensitive biological samples and matrices.

The reaction of fluoride anions with mononuclear rare-earth(III) complexes of the hexaazamacrocycle derived from 2,6-diformylpyridine and ethylenediamine affords trinuclear coordination compounds . The X-ray crystal structures of these complexes show triplex cationic complexes where the three roughly parallel macrocyclic lanthanide(III) units are linked by bis-μ-F bridges. The detailed analysis of the photophysical properties of the and complexes reveals different temperature dependence of luminescence intensity and luminescence decay time of the Eu(III) and Tb(III) derivatives.

We present herein magneto-structural studies of three heterometallic ZnDy complexes: [ZnDy(L)Cl(HO)](ClO)·4HO (1), [ZnDy(L)Br(HO)](ClO)·4HO (2) and [ZnDy(L)(OAc)I(HO)]I·4HO (3), utilizing a new Schiff base ligand, ,-bis(3-methoxy-5-methylsalicylidene)-1,2-diaminocyclohexane (HL). Complexes 1 and 2 exhibit remarkable magnetic relaxation behaviour with relatively high energy barriers in zero field (: 244 K for 1 and 211 K for 2) and notable hysteresis temperatures, despite the low local geometric symmetry around the central Dy ions. The SMM performance of these complexes is further enhanced under an applied magnetic field, with increasing to 309 K for 1 and 269 K for 2, positioning them as elite members within the Zn-Dy SMM family.
