Magnetic Properties of a Terbium-[1]Ferrocenophane Complex: Analogies between Lanthanide-Ferrocenophane and Lanthanide-Bis-phthalocyanine Complexes. Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • A rare example of an organometallic terbium single-ion magnet is reported. A Tb3+ -[1]ferrocenophane complex displays a larger barrier to magnetization reversal than its isostructural Dy3+ analogue, which is reminiscent of trends observed for lanthanide-bis-phthalocyanine complexes. Detailed abinitio calculations support the experimental observations and suggest a significantly larger ground-state stabilization for the non-Kramers ion Tb3+ in the Tb complex than for the Kramers-ion Dy3+ in the Dy complex.
