摘要

Four tetra-nuclear lanthanide complexes: {[Ln(4)(L)(6)(tmhd)(4)((3)-OH)(2)]mH(2)O} (Ln = Gd (1, m = 0), Tb (2, m = 3), Dy (3, m = 0), Ho (4, m = 0); L = 5-((pyridin-4-ylmethylene)amino)quinolin-8-ol, tmhd = 2,2,6,6-tetramethylheptane-3,5-dione) were fabricated and structurally characterized. Compounds 1-4 are isostructural and belong to the monoclinic system with space group P2(1)/n. The cores of the complexes contain a tetranuclear arrangement of Ln(III) ions, which is bridged by the two pyramidal (3)-OH- ions, and the four Ln(III) ions are precisely coplanar. The magnetic study reveals that 1 exhibits cryogenic magnetic refrigeration property (-S-m = 20.85 J K-1 kg(-1)), whereas compound 3 exhibits slow relaxation of the magnetization.
