The CoII cation in poly[[aqua(μ-benzene-1,2-dicarboxylato-κ3 O 1,O 2:O 1)(μ-4,4′-bipyridine-κ2 N:N′)cobalt(II)] trihydrate], {[Co(C8H4O4)(C10H8N2)(H2O)]·3H2O} n , is octahedrally coordinated by two N atoms of two 4,4′-bipyridine ligands, three O atoms from phthalate anions and a fourth O atom from a coordinated water molecule. The packing consists of planes of coordination polymers linked by hydrogen bonds mediated by three solvent water molecules; the linkage is achieved by the water molecules forming intricate oligomeric clusters which also involve the O atoms of the phthalate ligands.

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 {[L2Dy(H2O)5][X]3·L2·n(H2O), 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, tBuPO(NHiPr)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. Although the local coordination geometry and the symmetry around the Dy(III) in all the three complexes are similar and display only slight deviations, the variation of halide anions in the secondary coordination sphere which is hydrogen-bonded to the coordinated equatorial water molecules, show subtle alteration in the magnetic properties. 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. Ab initio CASSCF/RASSI-SO/SINGLE_ANISO calculations further 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.
