Hybrid lanthanide double-deckers based on calixarene and polyoxometalate units†
Abstract
Complementarity of calixarene (H2L) and polyoxometalate ligands results in the first organic–inorganic [MIIIL{Mo5O13(OMe)4(NO)}]2− (M = Y, Gd and Dy) hybrid, directing the formation of a distorted square-antiprismatic MO8 ligand field and resulting in slow relaxation of the magnetisation for the Dy derivative.
