We study electron transport through a single-molecule magnet (SMM) and the interplay of its anisotropic spin with quantized vibrational distortions of the molecule. Based on numerical renormalization group calculations we show that, despite the longitudinal anisotropy barrier and small transverse anisotropy, vibrational fluctuations can induce quantum spin-tunneling (QST) and a QST-Kondo effect. The interplay of spin scattering, QST and molecular vibrations can strongly enhance the Kondo effect and induce an anomalous magnetic field dependence of vibrational Kondo side-bands.

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.

Polyoxometalates are robust and versatile multidentate oxygen-donor ligands, eminently suitable for coordination to trivalent lanthanoid ions. To date, 10 very different structural families of such complexes have been found to exhibit slow magnetic relaxation due to single-molecule magnet (SMM) behaviour associated with the lanthanoid ions. These families encompass complexes with between one and four of the later lanthanoid ions: Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, and Yb. The lanthanoid coordination numbers vary between six and eleven and a range of coordination geometries are evident. The highest energy barrier to magnetisation reversal measured to date for a lanthanoid–polyoxometalate SMM is Ueff/kB = 73 K for the heterodinuclear Dy–Eu compound (Bu4N)8H4[DyEu(OH)2(γ-SiW10O36)2].
