is a field-induced single-molecule magnet with an effective barrier of
U
eff
= 6.1 K under a dc field of 800 Oe and
2
shows slow magnetic relaxation behaviour with
U
eff
= 2.6 K under zero dc field. The magnetic dilution method was applied to further investigate the magnetic relaxation behaviors of
1
and
2
; as a result, slow magnetic relaxation behaviors of
1
and
2
were mostly attributed to the single Dy
3+
ions, which was also confirmed by the result of
ab initio
calculation. Interestingly, both of them possess excellent stability in water and common organic solvents, as well as in acid and base solutions with a wide pH range (2.5-14). Surprisingly,
2
is stable even in 18 M NaOH aqueous solutions, which is rarely reported in 0D coordination compounds and is a breakthrough for paramagnetic metal clusters in stability. It helps to develop chemically stable single-molecule magnets for their application in moisture and acidic/alkaline media.
Two Dy

coordination clusters with different skeletons exhibit slow magnetic relaxation behaviours and high stabilities in water and common organic solvents, as well as in acid and base solutions. |
