RESUMO
Pyridoxine (pyr) is a versatile molecule that forms part of the family of B vitamins. It is used to treat and prevent vitamin B6 deficiency and certain types of metabolic disorders. Moreover, the pyridoxine molecule has been investigated as a suitable ligand toward metal ions. Nevertheless, the study of the magnetic properties of metal complexes containing lanthanide(III) ions and this biomolecule is unexplored. We have synthesized and characterized a novel pyridoxine-based GdIII complex of formula [GdIII(pyr)2(H2O)4]Cl3 · 2 H2O (1) [pyr = pyridoxine]. 1 crystallizes in the triclinic system and space group Pi. In its crystal packing, cationic [Gd(pyr)2(H2O)4]3+ entities are connected through H-bonding interactions involving non-coordinating water molecules and chloride anions. In addition, Hirshfeld surfaces of 1 were calculated to further investigate their intermolecular interactions in the crystal lattice. Our investigation of the magnetic properties of 1, through ac magnetic susceptibility measurements, reveals the occurrence of a slow relaxation in magnetization in this mononuclear GdIII complex, indicating an unusual single-ion magnet (SIM) behavior for this pseudo-isotropic metal ion at very low temperatures. We also studied the relaxometric properties of 1, as a potential contrast agent for high-field magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), from solutions of 1 prepared in physiological serum (0.0-3.2 mM range) and measured at 3 T on a clinical MRI scanner. The values of relaxivity obtained for 1 are larger than those of some commercial MRI contrast agents based on mononuclear GdIII systems.

The oxidation of tetraselenatetracene (TSeT) by tetracyanoquinodimethane in the presence of dysprosium(III) tris(hexafluoroacetylacetonate), DyIII(hfac)3, produces black crystals of {TSeT1.5}â+[DyIII(hfac)4]- (1) salt, which combines conducting and magnetic sublattices. It contains one-dimensional stacks composed of partially oxidized TSeT molecules (formal averaged charge is +2/3). Dimers and monomers can be outlined within these stacks with charge and spin density redistribution. The spin triplet state of the dimers is populated above 128 K with an estimated singlet-triplet energy gap of 542 K, whereas spins localized on the monomers show paramagnetic behavior. A semiconducting behavior is observed for 1 with the activation energy of 91 meV (measured by the four-probe technique for an oriented single crystal). The DyIII ions coordinate four hfac- anions in [DyIII(hfac)4]-, providing D2d symmetry. Slow magnetic relaxation is observed for DyIII under an applied static magnetic field of 1000 Oe, and 1 is a single-ion magnet (SIM) with spin reversal barrier Ueff = 40.2 K and magnetic hysteresis at 2 K. Contributions from DyIII and TSeTâ+ paramagnetic species are seen in EPR. The DyIII ion rarely manifests EPR signals, but such signal is observed in 1. It appears due to narrowing below 30 K and has g4 = 6.1871 and g5 = 2.1778 at 5.4 K.

Two cobalt(II) complexes [CoL1](OTf)2 (1, L1 = 6,6''-di(anilino)-4'-phenyl-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine) and [CoL2](OTf)2·MeOH (2, L2 = 6,6''-di(N,N-dimethylamino)-4'-phenyl-2,2':6',2''-terpyridine) were synthesized and characterized. Crystal structure analyses showed that the spin carries were coordinated by five N atoms from the neutral pentaaza ligands, forming distorted trigonal bipyramidal coordination environments. Ab initio calculations revealed large easy-axial anisotropy in complexes 1 and 2. Magnetic measurements suggest that complexes 1 and 2 are field-induced single-molecule magnets, whose relaxations are mainly predominated by Raman and direct processes.
RESUMO
Functionalized perfluoroalkyl lithium ß-diketonates (LiL) react with lanthanide(III) salts (Ln = Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy) in methanol to give heterobimetallic Ln-Li complexes of general formula [(LnL3)(LiL)(MeOH)]. The length of fluoroalkyl substituent in ligand was found to affect the crystal packing of complexes. Photoluminescent and magnetic properties of heterobimetallic ß-diketonates in the solid state are reported. The effect of the geometry of the [LnO8] coordination environment of heterometallic ß-diketonates on the luminescent properties (quantum yields, phosphorescence lifetimes for Eu, Tb, Dy complexes) and single-ion magnet behavior (Ueff for Dy complexes) is revealed.

The chemical immobilization of cobalt(II) ions in a silica aerogel matrix enabled the synthesis of the first representative example of aerogel-based single-ion magnets. For the synthesis of the lyogels, methyl-trimethoxysilane and N-3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl ethylenediamine were co-hydrolyzed, then the ethylenediamine groups that were immobilized on the silica matrix enabled the subsequent binding of cobalt(II) ions. Lyogels with various amounts of ethylenediamine moieties (0.1-15 mol %) were soaked in isopropanol solutions of cobalt(II) nitrate and further supercritically dried in carbon dioxide to obtain aerogels with a specific surface area of 210-596 m2·g-1, an apparent density of 0.403-0.740 cm3·g-1 and a porosity of 60-78%. The actual cobalt content in the aerogels was 0.01-1.50 mmol per 1 g of SiO2, which could easily be tuned by the concentration of ethylenediamine moieties in the silica matrix. The introduction of cobalt(II) ions into the ethylenediamine-modified silica aerogel promoted the stability of the diamine moieties at the supercritical drying stage. The molecular prototype of the immobilized cobalt(II) complex, bearing one ethylenediamine ligand [Co(en)(MeCN)(NO3)2], was synthesized and structurally characterized. Using magnetometry in the DC mode, it was shown that cobalt(II)-modified silica aerogels exhibited slow magnetic relaxation in a nonzero field. A decrease in cobalt(II) concentration in aerogels from 1.5 mmol to 0.14 mmol per 1 g of SiO2 resulted in a weakening of inter-ion interactions; the magnetization reversal energy barrier likewise increased from 4 to 18 K.

Precise control of the crystal field and symmetry around the paramagnetic spin centre has recently facilitated the engineering of high-temperature single-ion magnets (SIMs), the smallest possible units for future spin-based devices. In the present work, we report a series of air-stable seven coordinate Dy(III) SIMs {[L2 Dy(H2 O)5 ][X]3 â L2 â n(H2 O), n = 0, X = Cl (1), n=1, X = Br (2), I (3)} possessing pseudo-D5h symmetry or pentagonal bipyramidal coordination geometry with high anisotropy energy barrier (Ueff ) and blocking temperature (TB ). While the strong axial coordination from the sterically encumbered phosphonamide, t BuPO(NHi Pr)2 (L), increases the overall anisotropy of the system, the presence of high symmetry significantly quenches quantum tunnelling of magnetization, which is the prominent deactivating factor encountered in SIMs. The energy barrier (Ueff ) and the blocking temperature (TB ) decrease in the order 3>2>1 with the change of anions from larger iodide to smaller strongly hydrogen-bonded chloride in the secondary coordination sphere, albeit the local coordination geometry and the symmetry around the Dy(III) display only slight deviations. Ab initio CASSCF/RASSI-SO/SINGLE_ANISO calculations provide deeper insights into the dynamics of magnetic relaxation in addition to the role of the secondary coordination sphere in modulating the anisotropy of the D5h systems, using diverse models. Thus, in addition to the importance of the crystal field and the symmetry to obtain high-temperature SIMs, this study also probes the significance of the secondary coordination sphere that can be tailored to accomplish novel SIMs.
RESUMO
The cationic complexes of Mn(III) with the 5-Hal-sal2323 (Hal = Cl, Br) ligands and a paramagnetic doubly charged counterion [ReCl6]2- have been synthesized: [Mn(5-Cl-sal2323)]2[ReCl6] (1) and [Mn(5-Br-sal2323)]2[ReCl6] (2). Their crystal structures and magnetic properties have been studied. These isostructural two-component ionic compounds show a thermally induced spin transition at high temperature associated with the cationic subsystem and a field-induced slow magnetic relaxation of magnetization at cryogenic temperature, associated with the anionic subsystem. The compounds are the first examples of the coexistence of spin crossover and field-induced slow magnetic relaxation in the family of known [MnIII(sal2323)] cationic complexes with various counterions.

Novel mononuclear cymantrenecarboxylate complexes of transition metals, [Co(H2O)6](CymCO2)2·4H2O (Cym = (η5-C5H4)Mn(CO)3) (1), [Ni(H2O)6](CymCO2)2·4H2O (2), [Zn(H2O)6](CymCO2)2·4H2O (3), [Co(CymCO2)2(imz)2] (imz = imidazole, 4), [Co(CymCO2)2(bpy)2]·2PhMe (bpy = 2,2'-bipyridyl, 5), [Ni(CymCO2)(bpy)2(H2O)][CymCO2]·0.5MePh·2H2O (6), [Cu(CymCO2)2(imz)2] (7), and [Cu(CymCO2)2(bpy)(H2O)] (8), were obtained and characterized by single-crystal X-ray analysis. Complexes 1-3 are isostructural. Magnetism of the Co complexes 1, 4, and 5 was studied; it was shown that they exhibit the properties of field-induced single-molecule magnets with magnetization reversal barriers (ΔE/kB) of 44, 13, and 10 K, respectively. Thermal decomposition of complexes 1-8 was studied by means of DSC and TGA methods. The final products of thermolysis of 1-6 in air, according to powder XRD data, are the pure spinel phases MMn2O4; for the cases of copper complexes, the mixtures of CuMn2O4 and CuO were found in the products.
RESUMO
We perform a thorough study of the ground state magnetic properties of nickel-based 3d8 complexes. This includes an in-depth analysis of the contribution of the crystal field, spin exchange and spin-orbit interactions to the ground state magnetic properties. Of particular interest to the current investigation are the presence and occurrence of non-trivial zero-field splitting. The study focuses on the cases of Ni2+ ideal octahedral, trigonal bipyramidal, square planar and tetrahedral geometries. We provide results for the complete energy spectrum, the fine structure related to the ground state and the second set of excited states, low-field magnetic susceptibility and magnetization. In addition, we examine the zero-field fine structure in square pyramidal, trigonal pyramidal and trigonal planar complexes. The obtained results unequivocally show that a moderate or highly coordinated 3d8 complex can neither exhibit spin-orbit-driven large and giant magnetic anisotropy nor a huge zero-field splitting. Moreover, in the trigonal bipyramidal coordination, a fine structure associated to the ground state cannot result from the spin-orbit coupling alone.
RESUMO
New CoII substituted malonate field-induced molecular magnets {[Rb6Co3(cpdc)6(H2O)12]â6H2O}n (1) and [Cs2Co(cpdc)2(H2O)6]n (2) (where cpdc2- stands for cyclopropane-1,1-dicarboxylic acid dianions) were synthesized. Both compounds contain mononuclear bischelate fragments {CoII(cpdc)2(H2O)2}2- where the quasi-octahedral cobalt environment (CoO6) is complemented by water molecules in apical positions. The alkali metal atoms play the role of connectors between the bischelate fragments to form 3D and 2D polymeric structures for 1 and 2, respectively. Analysis of dc magnetic data using the parametric Griffith Hamiltonian for high-spin CoII supported by ab initio calculations revealed that both compounds have an easy axis of magnetic anisotropy. Compounds 1 and 2 exhibit slow magnetic relaxation under an external magnetic field (HDC = 1000 and 1500 Oe, respectively).
RESUMO
We have designed and synthesized two novel cobalt coordination compounds using bumetanide (bum) and indomethacin (ind) therapeutic agents. The anti-inflammatory effects of cobalt metal complexes with ind and bum were assayed in lipopolysaccharide stimulated RAW 264.7 macrophages by inhibition of nitric oxide production. Firstly, we determined the cytotoxicity and the anti-inflammatory potential of the cobalt compounds and ind and bum ligands in RAW 264.7 cells. Indomethacin-based metal complex was able to inhibit the NO production up to 35% in a concentration-dependent manner without showing cytotoxicity, showing around 6-37 times more effective than indomethacin. Cell cycle analysis showed that the inhibition of NO production was accompanied by a reversion of the differentiation processes in LPS-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells, due to a decreased of cell percentage in G0/G1 phase, with the corresponding increase in the number of cells in S phase. These two materials have mononuclear structures and show slow relaxation of magnetization. Moreover, both compounds show anti-diabetic activity with low in vitro cell toxicities. The formation of metal complexes with bioactive ligands is a new and promising strategy to find new compounds with high and enhanced biochemical properties and promises to be a field of great interest.

Complexes [(dpp-BIAN)0CoIII2]·MeCN (I) and [(Py)2CoI2] (II) were synthesized by the reaction between cobalt(II) iodide and 1,2-bis(2,6-diisopropylphenylimino)acenaphthene (dpp-BIAN) or pyridine (Py), respectively. The molecular structures of the complexes were determined by X-ray diffraction. The Co(II) ions in both compounds are in a distorted tetrahedral environment (CoN2I2). The electrochemical behavior of complex I was studied by cyclic voltammetry. Magnetochemical measurements revealed that when an external magnetic field is applied, both compounds exhibit the properties of field-induced single ion magnets.

Single-ion magnets (SIMs) are the smallest possible magnetic devices and are a controllable, bottom-up approach to nanoscale magnetism with potential applications in quantum computing and high-density information storage. In this work, we take advantage of the promising, but yet insufficiently explored, solid-state chemistry of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) to report the single-crystal to single-crystal inclusion of such molecular nanomagnets within the pores of a magnetic MOF. The resulting host-guest supramolecular aggregate is used as a playground in the first in-depth study on the interplay between the internal magnetic field created by the long-range magnetic ordering of the structured MOF and the slow magnetic relaxation of the SIM.
RESUMO
A new Co(II) complex, [Co(NCS)2(L)2] (1) has been synthesized based on levamisole (L) as a new ligand. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses confirm that the Co(II) ion is having a distorted tetrahedral coordination geometry in the complex. Notably strong intramolecular Sâ â â S and Sâ â â N interactions has been confirmed by employing Quantum Theory of Atoms in Molecules (QTAIM). These intramolecular interactions occur among the sulfur and nitrogen atoms of the levamisole ligands and also the nitrogen atoms of the thiocyanate. Direct current (dc) magnetic analyses reveal presence of zero field splitting (ZFS) and large magnetic anisotropy on Co(II). Detailed ab initio ligand field theory calculations quantitatively predicted the magnitude of ZFS. Prominent field-induced single-ion magnet (SIM) behavior was observed for 1 from dynamic magnetization measurements. Slow magnetic relaxation follows an Orbach mechanism with the effective energy barrier Ueff=29.6 (7)â K and relaxation time τo=1.4 (4)×10-9â s.
RESUMO
The synthesis, crystal structure and magnetic properties of an oxamate-containing erbium(III) complex, namely, tetrabutylammonium aqua[N-(2,4,6-trimethylphenyl)oxamato]erbium(III)-dimethyl sulfoxide-water (1/3/1.5), (C16H36N)[Er(C11H12NO3)4(H2O)]·3C2H6OS·1.5H2O or n-Bu4N[Er(Htmpa)4(H2O)]·3DMSO·1.5H2O (1), are reported. The crystal structure of 1 reveals the occurrence of an erbium(III) ion, which is surrounded by four N-phenyl-substituted oxamate ligands and one water molecule in a nine-coordinated environment, together with one tetrabutylammonium cation acting as a counter-ion, and one water and three dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) molecules of crystallization. Variable-temperature static (dc) and dynamic (ac) magnetic measurements were carried out for this mononuclear complex, revealing that it behaves as a field-induced single-ion magnet (SIM) below 5.0â K.
RESUMO
Not just any old iron ion: A linear, two-coordinate ionic Fe(I) complex with a S=3/2 ground state has a large energy barrier for magnetization reversal, Ueff =226â cm(-1) , and undergoes slow magnetic relaxation in the absence of an applied magnetic field. The preparation of complexes with these properties is a step towards the eventual practical application of single-molecule magnets.
RESUMO
Co(II) mononuclear complex with different coordination geometry would display various of field-induced single-ion magnet (SIM) behaviors. Here, we identify a field-induced single-ion magnet in a mononuclear complex Co(H2DPA)2·H2O (H2DPA = 2,6-pyridine-dicarboxylic acid) by the hydrothermal method. The long axial Co-O coordination bond (Co1â§â§â§O3) can be formed by Co1 and O3. Therefore, Co(II) ion is six-coordinated in a distorted elongated octahedron. AC magnetization susceptibilities show that the effective energy barrier is up to 43.28 K. This is much larger than most mononuclear Co(II). The distorted elongated octahedron caused by the axial Co-O coordination bond is responsible for the high effective energy barrier. The distribution of electron density in Co1 and O3 atoms in the long axial bond would influence the magnetic relaxation process in turn. Our work deepens the relationship between the effective energy barrier and the weak change of ligand field by long axial bonds, which would facilitate constructing SIM with high energy temperature.
RESUMO
The combination of Co(III) and Dy(III) with a compartmental Schiff base ligand (H3 L=3-[(2-Hydroxy-3-methoxy-benzylidene)-amino]-propane-1,2-diol), presenting three different coordinating pockets, has allowed the synthesis of two novel Co(III)-Dy(III) complexes: [Co2 Dy(HL)4 ]NO3 â 2CH3 CN (1), a rare example of trinuclear linear CoIII 2 DyIII complex (and the first with slow relaxation of magnetization in absence of a DC field) and [Co2 Dy2 (µ3 -OH)2 (HL)2 (OAc)6 ] â 4.6H2 O (2), the first tetranuclear CoIII 2 DyIII 2 cluster with a rhomb-like structure where the Co(III) ions are connected along the short diagonal of the rhomb. 1 presents two different relaxation processes: a fast relaxation dominated by Quantum tunnelling (QT) and a slow relaxation with an energy barrier of 40â K. 2 shows two close relaxation processes without applied DC fields that follow QT and Orbach mechanisms whereas for HDC =500 Oe, the QT is cancelled and a direct term appears. Here we present the synthesis, X-ray structure and magnetic characterization of these two Co(III)-Dy(III) single-ion/molecule magnets.
RESUMO
The coordination chemistry of dysprosium and terbium toward phosphine and arsine oxides was further explored. Thus, the new nitrate [M(NO3)3(Ph3PO)3] (M = Tb, 1; Dy, 2), [Dy(NO3)3(EtOH)(Ph3XO)2] (X = P, 3; As, 4), chloride [DyCl2(Ph3AsO)4]Cl (5), triflate [Dy(OTf)2(MePh2PO)4]OTf (6; OTf = triflate) and hexafluoroacetylacetonate [M(hfa)3(Ph3PO)2] (hfa = hexafluoroacetylacetonate; M = Tb, 7; Dy, 8) complexes were isolated and fully characterized. The crystal structures of 1·CH3CN, 2·CH3CN, 4, 5·2.75EtOH·1.25H2O, 6, 7, and 8 show MO9 cores in 1, 2, and 4, with highly distorted geometry, between spherical capped square antiprism and muffin-like, hexacoordinated environments for the dysprosium ions in 5 and 6, with octahedral geometry, and octa-coordination for the lanthanoid metals in 7 and 8, with geometry closer to square antiprism. Comparison of the magnetic behavior of all the complexes allows analyzing which metal ion (Tb or Dy), phosphine or arsine oxide, or anionic ligand favor more the slow relaxation of the magnetization. Alternating current magnetic measurements show that only 2, 4, and 8 present slow relaxation of the magnetization in the presence of an external magnetic field, 8 being the complex with the highest U eff (44.85 K) of those described herein.
RESUMO
Static and dynamic magnetic properties of the tetracoordinate CoII complex [Co(CH3-im)2Cl2], (1, CH3-im = N-methyl-imidazole), studied using thorough analyses of magnetometry, and High-Frequency and -Field EPR (HFEPR) measurements, are reported. The study was supported by ab initio complete active space self-consistent field (CASSCF) calculations. It has been revealed that 1 possesses a large magnetic anisotropy with a large rhombicity (magnetometry: D = -13.5 cm-1, E/D = 0.33; HFEPR: D = -14.5(1) cm-1, E/D = 0.16(1)). These experimental results agree well with the theoretical calculations (D = -11.2 cm-1, E/D = 0.18). Furthermore, it has been revealed that 1 behaves as a field-induced single-ion magnet with a relatively large spin-reversal barrier (Ueff = 33.5 K). The influence of the Cl-Co-Cl angle on magnetic anisotropy parameters was evaluated using the CASSCF calculations.
