Three mononuclear Dy compounds [DyL(PhSiO)][BPh]·MeCN·2HO (), [DyL(PhSiO)][BPh]·CHOH·HO (), and [DyL(PhSiO)(OAc)][BPh]·CHOH·3HO () and their corresponding Y diluted analogues [DyYL(PhSiO)][BPh]·MeCN·2HO (), [DyYL(PhSiO)][BPh]·CHOH·HO (), and [DyYL(PhSiO)(OAc)][BPh]·CHOH·3HO () were synthesized with hexaazamacrocyclic Schiff base ligands as an equatorial ligand. The substituents in the equatorial hexaazamacrocyclic Schiff base ligand show a significant effect on the replacement of the axial ligands. Compounds , , and are typical zero dc field single-molecule magnets with effective energy barriers () of 1092(6), 946.1(7), and 150.1(9) K, respectively. Although the effective energy barriers of and are close, the magnetic hysteresis remains open up to 20 K for , twice as large as that of (10 K), which is different from the previously reported compounds, probably due to nonplanarity N6 in the equator. calculations indicate that the ground states of compounds and exhibit high anisotropy and pure second and third excited states, while compound exhibits pure ground-state anisotropy and highly mixed excited states, leading to the easy occurrence of quantum tunneling of magnetization between the ground and excited states in compound . This work indicates that the substituents in equatorial hexaazamacrocyclic Schiff base ligands have a significant effect on the construction and magnetic properties of Dy SIMs with D symmetry.

Hexaazamacrocyclic Schiff bases have been extensively combined with lanthanoid (Ln) ions to obtain complexes with a highly axial geometry. However, the use of flexible hexaazatetraamine macrocycles containing two pyridines and acyclic spacers is rather uncommon. Accordingly, we obtained [DyL(OAc)]OAc·7HO·EtOH and [DyL(Cl)]Cl·2HO, where L and L are the 18-membered macrocycles 3,6,10,13-tetraaza-1,8(2,6)-dipyridinacyclotetradecaphane and 3,10-dimethyl-3,6,10,13-tetraaza-1,8(2,6)-dipyridinacyclotetradecaphane, respectively, which contain ethylene and methylethylene spacers between their moieties.

Two pairs of chiral end-on azido-bridged dinuclear hexaazamacrocycles, [Dy (L ) (N ) Cl ](BPh ) (1R/1S) and [Dy (L ) (N ) ]Cl (2R/2S) (L is hexaazamacrocyclic neutral Schiff base ligand derived from 2,6-diformylpyridine and (1R, 2R)/(1S, 2S)-diaminocyclohexane), were constructed by adjusting the molar ratio of sodium azide to Dy(III) macrocycle precursor. Structural analyses reveal that all Dy(III) centers in complexes 1R/1S and 2R/2S are nine-coordinate with hula-loop coordination geometry, and the differences between 1R/1S and 2R/2S are the terminal coordination anion and counter anion. Magnetic studies indicate that complex 2S displays typical SMM behaviors under a zero dc field, whereas 1S just shows slow relaxation of magnetization resulting from a relatively weak axial crystal field.

In this work we analyze the whole molecular mechanism for intramolecular aromatic hydroxylation through O2 activation by a Schiff hexaazamacrocyclic dicopper(I) complex, [Cu(I) 2(bsH2m)](2+). Assisted by DFT calculations, we unravel the reaction pathway for the overall intramolecular aromatic hydroxylation, i.e.

A new series of dinuclear Cu(I) complexes with hexaazamacrocyclic Schiff base ligand containing pyridyl pendant arms has been synthesized and characterized. The solid-state structures of [Cu(2)(I)(bsp3py)](CF(3)SO(3))(2) (1(CF(3)SO(3))(2)), [Cu(2)(I)(bsm3py)](SbF(6))(2) (2(SbF(6))(2)), and [Cu(2)(I)(bsp2py)](CF(3)SO(3))(2) (3(CF(3)SO(3))(2)) have been established by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. The geometries of the copper centers in all three cases are almost identical showing a distorted tetrahedral coordination, very close to a trigonal pyramidal arrangement.
