Syntheses, structures and magnetic properties of two Dy6 clusters based on polydentate ligands with a new topological motif

Two novel analogous Dy6 complexes were synthesized in low-temperature reactions and characterized via X-ray crystallographic and magnetic measurements. Structural analysis revealed the resulting complexes form a new topological motif for hexanuclear dysprosium clusters. Magnetic studies indicated the two complexes are both ferromagnetic interactions and exhibit magnetization relaxation behavior.152
