Single-molecule magnets involving monometallic 4f complexes have been investigated extensively in last two decades to understand the factors that govern the slow magnetization relaxation behavior in these complexes and to establish a magneto-structural correlation. The prime goal in this direction is to suppress the temperature independent quantum tunneling of magnetization (QTM) effect via fine-tuning the coordination geometry/microenvironment. Among the various coordination geometries that have been pursued, complexes containing high coordination number around Ln(III) are sparse. Herein, we present a summary of the various synthetic strategies that were used for the assembly of 10- and 12-coordinated Ln(III) complexes. The magnetic properties of such complexes are also described.

When using single molecule magnets (SMMs) in spintronics devices, controlling the quantum tunneling of the magnetization (QTM) and spin-lattice interactions is important. To improve the functionality of SMMs, researchers have explored the effects of changing the coordination geometry of SMMs and the magnetic interactions between them. Here, we report on the effects of the octa-coordination geometry on the magnetic relaxation processes of dinuclear dysprosium(III) complexes in the low-temperature region. Mixed ligand dinuclear Dy3+ triple-decker complexes [(TPP)Dy(Pc)Dy(TPP)] (1), which have crystallographically equivalent Dy3+ ions, and [(Pc)Dy(Pc)Dy(TPP)] (2), which have non-equivalent Dy3+ ions, (Pc2− = phthalocyaninato; TPP2− = tetraphenylporphyrinato), undergo dual magnetic relaxation processes. This is due to the differences in the ground states due to the twist angle (φ) between the ligands. The relationship between the off-diagonal terms and the dual magnetic relaxation processes that appears due to a deviation from D4h symmetry is discussed.

In this work, the synthesis, structure, and magnetic studies of three dinuclear Dy2 compounds, namely Dy2(bpy)2(L)6 (1), Dy2(phen)2(L)6 (2), Dy2(μ-H2O)2(bpy)2(L)6 (3) are reported in detail, where HL, phen, and bpy are 4-chlorobenzoic acid, 1,10-phenanthroline, and 2,2′-bipyridine. Magnetic studies reveal the intramolecular ferromagnetic interaction and single-molecule magnetic properties of these compounds. The fine-tuned single-molecule magnet properties of compounds 1–3, mainly due to the difference of the coordination geometry of DyIII ions, are highlighted.

<p><a></a>Controlling molecular magnetic anisotropy via structural engineering is delicate and fascinating, especially for single-molecule magnets (SMMs). Herein a family of dysprosium single-ion magnets (SIMs) sitting in pentagonal bipyramid geometry have been synthesized with the variable-size terminal ligands and counter anions, through which the subtle coordination geometry of Dy(III) can be finely tuned based on the size effect. The effective energy barrier (Ueff) successfully increases from 439 K to 632 K and the magnetic hysteresis temperature (under a 200 Oe/s sweep rate) raises from 11 K to 24 K. Based on the crystal-field theory, a semi-quantitative magneto-structural correlation deducing experimentally for the first time is revealed that the Ueff is linearly proportional to the structural-related value S2<sup>0</sup> corresponding to the axial coordination bond lengths and the bond angles. Through the evaluation of the remanent magnetization from hysteresis, quantum tunneling of magnetization (QTM) is found to exhibit negative correlation with the structural-related value S<sub>tun</sub> corresponding to the axial coordination bond angles.<br></p>

We report a six coordinate DyIII single-molecule magnet<br>(SMM) with an energy barrier of 1110 K for thermal relaxation of<br>magnetization. The sample shows no retention of magnetization<br>even at 2 K and this led us to find a good correlation between the<br>blocking temperature and the Raman relaxation regime for SMMs.<br>The key parameter is the relaxation time (𝜏<sub>switch</sub>) at the point where<br>the Raman relaxation mechanism becomes more important than<br>Orbach.

<div>Many multiconfigurational systems, such as single-molecule magnets, are difficult to study using traditional computational methods due to the simultaneous existence of both spin and spatial degeneracies. In this work, a new approach termed n-spin-flip Ionization Potential/Electron Affinity (<i>n</i>SF-IP or <i>n</i>SF-EA) is introduced which combines the spin-flip method of Anna Krylov with particle-number changing IP/EA methods. We demonstrate the efficacy of the approach by applying it to the strongly-correlated N<sub>2</sub><sup>+</sup> as well as several double exchange systems. We also demonstrate that when these systems are well-described by a double exchange model Hamiltonian, only 1SF-IP/EA is required to extract the double exchange parameters and accurately predict energies for the low-spin states. This significantly reduces the computational effort for studying such systems. The effects of including additional excitations (using a RAS-<i>n</i>SF-IP/EA scheme) are also examined, with particular emphasis on hole and particle excitations.</div>
