Multifunctional chiral dinuclear DyIII enantiomeric pairs: showing single-molecule magnet behaviors with very strong third-harmonic generation responses
Using the precursor Dy(tta)3(H2O)2 to react with enantiopure bis-bidentate N-donors (LR/LS) at a 2:1 stoichiometric ratio, respectively, a pair of chiral dinuclear DyIII enantiomers formulated as [Dy2(tta)6(LR)]·0·5H2O (D-1) and [Dy2(tta)6(LS)]·0·5H2O (L-1) were attained and structurally characterized, in which Htta = 4,4,4-trifluoro-1-(2-thienyl)-1,3-butanedione and LR/LS = (-)/(+)-2,5-bis(4′,5′-pinene-2′-pyridyl)pyrazine. They not only show single-molecule magnet (SMM) behaviors at a zero dc field but also display simultaneously second- and third-harmonic generation (SHG and THG) responses. More notably, the THG intensities of D-1/L-1 are very strong (as high as 375/350 × α-SiO2), which are 13 and 12 times larger than that of the only THG-active Dy(tta)3(H2O)2 (29 × α-SiO2), respectively. This finding indicates that introducing LR and LS bearing symmetric molecular structures with large π-conjugated systems into Dy(tta)3(H2O)2 not only leads to the occurrence of the SHG response but also significantly enhances the THG performance.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Molecular Structure is dedicated to the publication of full-length articles and review papers, providing important new structural information on all types of chemical species including:
• Stable and unstable molecules in all types of environments (vapour, molecular beam, liquid, solution, liquid crystal, solid state, matrix-isolated, surface-absorbed etc.)
• Chemical intermediates
• Molecules in excited states
• Biological molecules
• Polymers.
The methods used may include any combination of spectroscopic and non-spectroscopic techniques, for example:
• Infrared spectroscopy (mid, far, near)
• Raman spectroscopy and non-linear Raman methods (CARS, etc.)
• Electronic absorption spectroscopy
• Optical rotatory dispersion and circular dichroism
• Fluorescence and phosphorescence techniques
• Electron spectroscopies (PES, XPS), EXAFS, etc.
• Microwave spectroscopy
• Electron diffraction
• NMR and ESR spectroscopies
• Mössbauer spectroscopy
• X-ray crystallography
• Charge Density Analyses
• Computational Studies (supplementing experimental methods)
We encourage publications combining theoretical and experimental approaches. The structural insights gained by the studies should be correlated with the properties, activity and/ or reactivity of the molecule under investigation and the relevance of this molecule and its implications should be discussed.
