Ab initio calculations on two three-coordinate complexes show record-high magnetic anisotropy, with detailed analysis suggesting flexibility in coordination leading to barrier relaxation dominance. In silico models based on the X-ray structures of the complexes reveal larger anisotropy and robust SIM characteristics, offering design clues for low-coordinate transition-metal SIMs.
Ab initio calculations performed in two three-coordinate complexes [Mn{N(SiMe3)(2)}(3)] (1) and [K(18-crown-6) (Et2O)(2)][Cr{N(SiMe3)(2)}(3)] (2) reveal record-high magnetic anisotropy with the D values -64 and -15 cm(-1), respectively, enlisting d(4) ions back in the race for single-ion magnets. A detailed spin-vibrational analysis performed of 1 and 2 suggests dominance under barrier relaxation due to the flexible coordination spheres around the metal ion. Furthermore, several in silico models were constructed by varying the nature of donor atoms based on the X-ray structure of 1 and 2, unveiling much larger anisotropy and robust single-ion magnet (SIM) characteristics for some of the models offering design clues for low-coordinate transition-metal SIMs.
