Abstract
By manipulating the aggregate states of dysprosium single-molecule magnets (DyIII-SMMs), the hydrogen bonds have played key roles in realizing aggregation-induced suppression of quantum tunneling of magnetization (QTM), thus becoming a new tool to optimize the performance of DyIII-SMMs. Yet, supermolecular aggregates of DyIII-SMMs assembled by hydrogen bonds are still scarcely reported so far. Herein, two such aggregates, [Dy(H3spho)(NO3)2(CH3OH)2]·CH3OH (SAH-1) and [Dy2(H2cspho)(NO3)4(CH3OH)3(H2O)]·2CH3CN (SAH-2), were prepared by N,N′-bis(salicylicdene)pyridine-2,6-dicarbohydrazide N-oxide (H4spho) and N,N′-bis(5-chlorosalicylicdene) pyridine-2,6-dicarbohydrazide N-oxide (H4cspho), respectively. SAH-1 shows a supermolecular dimer structure, where two mononuclear molecules are linked together by hydrogen bonds and arranged in a side-by-side fashion. SAH-2 is a three-dimensional (3D) hydrogen-bonded organic framework (HOF). Its molecule features an asymmetric dinuclear {Dy2} structure based on a single symmetric ligand, which has not been observed in the whole lanthanide complex family. Both SAH-1 and SAH-2 exhibit desirable SMM behavior, with the highest effective energy barrier (Ueff) of 67(2) and 62(3) K, respectively. SAH-2 also displays field-induced dual-relaxation behavior. The magnetic dilution experiments reveal that the dipole interactions relating to supermolecular aggregate states have non-negligible effects on the relaxation of SAH-1 and SAH-2.
