Three six-coordinate Dy single-molecule magnets (SMMs) [Dy(O Bu) (L) ] with local D symmetry are obtained by optimizing the equatorial ligands. One of the compounds with L=4-phenylpyridine shows an energy barrier (U ) of 2075(11) K, which is the third largest U , and the first U >2000 K for SMMs with axial-type symmetry so far. Ab initio analysis indicates that the exceptional uniaxial magnetic anisotropy is deeply related to the axially compressed octahedral geometry. This work provides a new insight into the local D symmetry for high-performance SMMs.
通过优化赤道配体得到了三种具有局部D对称性的六配位Dy单分子磁体(SMMs)[Dy(O Bu) (L) ]。其中一种L = 4-苯基吡啶的化合物显示出2075(11) K的能垒(U ),这是第三大能垒,也是迄今为止轴向型对称SMMs中首个U >2000 K的能垒。从头算分析表明,这种特殊的单轴磁各向异性与轴向压缩的八面体几何结构密切相关。这项工作为高性能SMMs的局部D对称性提供了新的见解。
