Two rhodamine 6G-based mononuclear dysprosium complexes, [Dy(L)(L)](ClO)·EtO·1.5MeOH·0.5HO () and [Dy(L)(HO)(MeCN)](ClO)·2HO·MeCN () (L = salicylaldehyde rhodamine 6G hydrazone, L = 2-pyridylcarboxaldehyde benzoyl hydrazone), are synthesized, aiming at improving the magnetic behavior by modulating their coordination environment. Both complexes own one exclusive short Dy-O coordination bond as the predominant bond and exhibit single-molecule magnet behavior under zero dc field with the energy barrier (/) of 90 K () and 320 K () and apparent hysteresis at 1.9 K. The calculations indicate that the short Dy-O bond determines the direction of magnetic anisotropic axis for and . The quantum tunneling of magnetization (QTM) between the ground Kramers doublets (KDs) in cannot be neglected, leading to an experimental / much lower than the calculated energy of the first excited state (318.2 K). For , the stronger magnetic anisotropy and negligible QTM between the ground KDs guarantees that the energy barrier is close to the calculated energy of first KDs (320.8 K). On the other hand, the presence of ring-opened xanthene moiety makes complexes and in the solid state emit red light with emission bands of 645 and 658 nm, respectively.

Synthesis of air-stable and high-performance single-molecule magnets (SMMs) is challenging. Here, a heptadentate pentapyridyldiamine (BPA-TPA) ligand and fine-tuned axial phenoxy ligands are used to synthesize two triangular dodecahedral Dy(III) complexes [Dy(BPA-TPA)(4-methoxy-PhO)](BPh)·3CHCl (4) and [Dy(BPA-TPA)(2,4-dimethyl-PhO)](BPh)·0.85CHCl (5).

Two dichloride-bridged dinuclear dysprosium(III) complexes based on salen ligands, namely, [Dy(L )(μ-Cl)(thf)] (1; H L =N,N'-bis(3,5-di-tert-butylsalicylidene)phenylenediamine) and [Dy (L ) (μ-Cl) (thf) ] (2; H L =N,N'-bis(3,5-di-tert-butylsalicylidene)ethylenediamine) are reported. These two complexes have two short Dy-O bonds that exhibit angles of ∼90° for 1 and ∼143° for 2, leading to clear slow relaxation of the magnetization for 2 and not for 1. Compound 2 has a near-identical core to the recently reported compound [Dy (L ) (μ-Cl) (thf) ] (3; H L =N-(2-pyridylmethyl)-N,N-bis(2'-hydroxy-3',5'-di-tert-butylbenzyl)amine).

Deep insights into and substantial enhancement of the effective anisotropy energy barrier for magnetization reversal () are vitally important for the technological applications of dysprosium(III)-based single-molecule magnets (Dy-SMMs). To fully refine the ligand-field effect on spin relaxation, four centrosymmetric {Dy} entities with formula [Dy(CHOH)L(COO)] (HL 2-hydroxy-'-((pyridin-2-yl)methylene)benzohydrazide) have been solvothermally prepared by varying the side groups of carboxylate coligands (COO, = CF for , H for , CH for , and CpFe for ). Structural analyses reveal that all of the Dy carriers in have the same NO donor environments, and the non-coordinative groups attached to the equatorial carboxylate bridges have not substantially changed the binding ability of the shortest Dy-O bonds located at the axial position of the ligand field.

We report the synthesis, structures, and magnetic investigations of two new octahedral dysprosium complexes, based on the original N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) tridentate bis(phenoxide) ligand, of the respective formulas -[DyL(THF)Cl] () and -[DyL(THF)][BPh] (), where L = 1,3-bis(3,5-di--butyl-2-oxidophenyl)-5,5-dimethyl-3,4,5,6-tetrahydropyrimidin-1-ium chloride and THF = tetrahydrofuran. The short Dy-O distances in the axial direction in association with the weak donor ability of the NHC moiety provide a suitable environment for slow relaxation of magnetization, overcoming the previous single-molecule magnets based on NHC ligands.

Targeted approaches for manipulating the coordination geometry of lanthanide ions are a promising way to synthesize high-performance single-molecule magnets (SMMs), but most of the successful examples reported to date focus on mononuclear complexes. Herein, we describe a strategy to assemble dinuclear SMMs with Dy ions in approximate coordination geometry based on pyrazolate-based macrocyclic ligands with two binding sites. A Dy4 complex with a rhomb-like arrangement of four Dy as well as two dinuclear complexes having axial chlorido ligands (Dy2·Cl and Dy2*·Cl) were obtained; in the latter case, substituting Cl by SCN gave Dy2·SCN.
