A new binuclear MoV–DyIII assembly and its magnetism

The reaction of [Mo(CN)8]3− with Dy3+ in DMF solvent leads to a new binuclear complex, [Mo(CN)8Dy(DMF)4(H2O)3]·H2O (1) (DMF = N,N′-dimethylformamide). Magnetic measurements confirm that 1 presents probably a ferromagnetic interaction between the binuclear complexes.

Construct a binuclear MoV–DyIII complex, in which the coordination sphere of Dy and Mo atoms lie in a slightly distorted trigonal dodecahedron geometry and linked by cyanide group.Figure optionsDownload as PowerPoint slideResearch Highlights
