Abstract
In photomagnetic materials, the changes of molecular structure or electron distribution caused by illumination may result in the changes of magnetism, so as to regulate the magnetic behavior of materials. Herein we report a 1,8-dihydroxyanthraquinone-based hexanuclear dysprosium cluster [Dy6O2(L1)6(OCH3)2(CH3OH)2(DMSO)4]·DMSO·CH3OH (1) obtained from the solvothermal reactions of Dy(OAc)3·5H2O with 1,8-dihydroxyanthraquinone (H2L1). The six Dy(III) ions in 1 are linked by two μ4-O, two μ3-O and ten μ2-O atoms to construct a rare bicapped tetrahedron Dy6 skeleton. Magnetic tests showed that the cluster is a single molecule magnet (SMM) under zero field. Upon light irradiation, the terminally coordinated CH3OH molecules in 1 were partly substituted by lattice DMSO molecules with the SMM performance significantly tuned by this subtle structural variation. Single molecule magnets with such photomagnetic behavior are rarely reported.
