摘要

The mixed porphyrin-Schiff base potassium dysprosium(III) complex [K(TBPP)Dy(L)(CH3CN)(2)] [H2TBPP = 5,10,15,20tetrakis(4-tert-butylphenyl)porphyrin; H2L = N,N'-bis(3-methoxysalicylidene) benzene-1,2-diamine; 1] was isolated from the reaction between the metal-free Schiff base ligand H2L and the half-sandwich porphyrinato dysprosium compound [Dy(TBPP)(acac)] (Hacac = acetylacetone) in the presence of KOH. A sandwich-type double-decker structure has been unambiguously revealed by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis. Static and dynamic magnetic measurements disclosed the slow relaxation behavior of this new double-decker compound and indicated its single-molecule magnet (SMM) nature. Comparative studies on the magnetic properties of 1, the homoleptic bis[5,10,15,20-tetrakis(4-tert-butylphenyl) porphyrinato]dysprosium double-decker [DyH(TBPP)(2)] (2), and the bis(Schiff base) dysprosium double-decker {[Dy[Zn(L)Cl](2)(DMF)(2)]center dot Cl} (3, DMF = N,N-dimethylformamide) indicate the effect of the ligand field (LF), through the deviation of the dysprosium coordination geometry from the ideal D-4d form, on the SMM properties of 1-3 in addition to the effect of the charge distribution over the Dy-III ion.
