Enhancing the exchange interaction between magnetic ions is a long-term target in molecular magnetism. Endohedral metallofullerenes (EMFs) provide a possibility for achieving such a goal by imprisoning multiple magnetic centers inside the confined inner space of a fullerene cage. Here, we report a new member of dimetallic azafullerene Dy2@C79N via crystallographic determination for the first time. Magnetic studies indicate that the strong ferromagnetic coupling between lanthanide ions and unpaired electrons enables Dy2@C79N to be a favorable SMM with large energy barrier of U = 669 K and observable hysteresis loops below 24 K.
增强磁性离子之间的交换相互作用是分子磁学的一个长期目标。内嵌金属富勒烯(EMFs)通过将多个磁性中心囚禁在富勒烯笼的受限内部空间中,为实现这一目标提供了一种可能性。在此,我们首次通过晶体学测定报道了双金属氮杂富勒烯Dy2@C79N的一个新成员。磁性研究表明,镧系离子与未成对电子之间的强铁磁耦合使Dy2@C79N成为一种有利的单分子磁体,其具有U = 669 K的大能量势垒,并且在24 K以下具有可观测的磁滞回线。
