In this study, the synthesis of a lanthanide-(bis)boryloxide complex with idealized D-4h@Dy(iii) point-group symmetry was reported. The complex exhibits single-molecule magnetism with one of the highest energy barriers among six-coordinate lanthanide-SMM systems. The validation of electrostatic model predictions by complex 2Dy informs future design of lanthanide-SMMs.
We report the synthesis of the lanthanide-(bis)boryloxide complex [Dy{OB(NArCH)(2)}(2)(THF)(4)][BPh4] (2Dy, Ar = 2,6-(Pr2C6H3)-C-i), with idealised D-4h@Dy(iii) point-group symmetry. Complex 2Dy exhibits single-molecule magnetism (SMM), with one of the highest energy barriers (U-eff = 1565(298) K) of any six-coordinate lanthanide-SMM. Complex 2Dy validates electrostatic model predictions, informing the future design of lanthanide-SMMs.
