Nickel/Lanthanide Single-Molecule Magnets: {Ni(3)Ln} "Stars" with a Ligand Derived from the Metal-Promoted Reduction of Di-2-pyridyl Ketone under Solvothermal Conditions
Résumé
Unusual {Ni(3)(II)Ln(III)(mu-OR)(6)}(3+) complexes with a "star" topology have been prepared with ligands derived from the metal-promoted reduction of di-2-pyridyl ketone under solvothermal conditions; the Dy-III member shows weak single-molecule-magnet behavior.
