Assembly of dysprosium(iii) cubanes in a metal–organic framework with an ecu topology and slow magnetic relaxation†
Abstract
A dysprosium(III) metal–organic framework constructed using dysprosium(III) cubanes as secondary building units has been reported to exhibit field-induced slow magnetic relaxation behavior and an unprecedented ecu topology, which is the first example of an 8-connected Ln-cubane-based framework material and a rare Dy4-MOF showing slow magnetic relaxation.
