Intact transfer of the cyclobutadienyl ligand [C(SiMe)] to yttrium and dysprosium (M) produces the half-sandwich complexes [M{η-C(SiMe)}(BH)(THF)] as coordination polymers with bridging sodium or potassium ions. The dysprosium versions are single-molecule magnets (SMMs) with energy barriers of 371(7) and 357(4) cm, respectively. The pristine cyclobutadienyl ligands provide a strong axial crystal field that enhances the SMM properties relative to related cyclopentadienyl compounds.
环丁二烯基配体[C(SiMe)]完整转移至钇和镝(M)会生成半夹心配合物[M{η-C(SiMe)}(BH)(THF)],其作为具有桥连钠或钾离子的配位聚合物。镝的配合物版本是单分子磁体(SMM),能垒分别为371(7)和357(4)厘米。原始的环丁二烯基配体提供了一个强轴向晶体场,相对于相关的环戊二烯基化合物,该场增强了单分子磁体的性质。
