Syntheses, Crystal Structures, and Magnetic Properties of Two <i>p</i>-<i>tert</i>-Butylsulfonylcalix[4]arene Supported Cluster Complexes with a Totally Disordered Ln<sub>4</sub>(OH)<sub>4</sub> Cubane Core
收藏资源简介：
Two new sandwich calix[4]arene-supported cluster complexes, [Ln4(OH)4(TBSOC)2(H2O)4(CH3OH)4]·4H2O (H4TBSOC = p-tert-butylsulfonylcalix[4]arene; Ln = Dy, 1; Ln = Ho, 2), have been prepared and characterized. An X-ray crystallographic study reveals that both complexes contain a holistically disordered [Ln4(OH)4]8+ cubane cluster core, which is sandwiched between two antiparallel calixarene macrocycles. Magnetic investigations indicate that complex 1 displays slow magnetization relaxation typical for single-molecule magnets in the absence of a static applied dc field, with the ΔE/kB parameter of 22.9 K, the largest value for the calixarene-supported pure 4f single-molecule magnets so far, whereas complex 2 does not show any relaxation of the magnetization above 2 K.
