Slow Magnetic Relaxation in a Lanthanide-[1]Metallocenophane Complex

The first example of a lanthanide metallocenophane complex has been isolated as [Li­(THF)4]­[DyFc3Li2(THF)2] (1). The molecular structure of complex 1 differs dramatically from those of main group and transition metal ferrocenophane complexes and features a distorted trigonal prismatic geometry arou...

Description
Summary:The first example of a lanthanide metallocenophane complex has been isolated as [Li­(THF)4]­[DyFc3Li2(THF)2] (1). The molecular structure of complex 1 differs dramatically from those of main group and transition metal ferrocenophane complexes and features a distorted trigonal prismatic geometry around the Dy­(III) ion and close intramolecular Dy···Fe distances. Furthermore, complex 1 exhibits all characteristics of a soft single-molecule magnet.
