Abstract
Single-ion magnets (SIMs) and single-molecule magnets (SMMs) are typically made up of 3d and/or 4f complexes that possess significant energy barriers to prevent the spin reversal behavior at the molecular level. SMMs/SIMs have various promising applications, including high-density information storage, molecular spintronics, and quantum computers. This article offers an overview of single-ion magnetism in lanthanide(III)-based coordination frameworks that consist of self-assemblies in one-, two-, and three-dimensions. The large magnetic moments and magnetic anisotropy of lanthanide(III) ions make them potential candidates for SIMs/SMMs. Additionally, the coordination framework structure enables multi-functionalities such as responsiveness to external stimuli, proton conduction, high structural stability, and host–guest interactions. These multi-functionalities indicate that the lanthanide(III)-based magnetic metal coordination frameworks represent an exciting platform for the development of a new generation of SIMs/SMMs.

Introduction
The field of molecular magnetism has received considerable attention in recent decades,1,2 with the discovery of SMMs/SIMs opening up new avenues of research.1,3–6 These molecules exhibit magnetic behaviours at the molecular level and retain magnetization at low temperatures,4,7 making them promising for high-density information storage, quantum computing, and molecular spintronics.1,3,4 SIMs are considered a subclass of SMMs, where the electron spin term derives from a solitary magnetic center, instead of polynuclear metal complexes.8 In the past several years, molecular magnetism has shifted its attention from polynuclear complexes to SIMs, particularly for those containing f-block elements.8
Many reported lanthanide(III)-type SIMs/SMMs are based on isolated discrete complexes.4,9–34 The construction of Ln(III)-type framework structures enables new functionalities beyond SIMs/SMMs, such as responsiveness to external stimuli, proton conduction, high structural stability, and reversible switching of magnetization by guest molecule absorption.35–43 Slow magnetic relaxation in many framework compounds made by 3d metal ions is usually absent due to the existence of 3D ordered exchange interactions among metal ions, such as Ru and Co in the coordination framework.44–46 For lanthanide(III)-based coordination frameworks, the exchange interactions between lanthanide(III) ions are usually weak, due to the effective shielding effect of unpaired electrons in the 4f orbitals.47 Such weak interatomic exchange interactions in Ln(III)-frameworks can therefore be utilized to promote the appearance of slow magnetic relaxation behaviours, leading to the efficient construction of SIMs/SMMs based on stable multi-functional Ln(III)-frameworks.
The careful selection of bridging ligands can significantly tune the magnetic properties of the lanthanide(III) ion, making lanthanide(III)-type coordination framework compounds a promising class of materials for SIM/SMM development. This review summarizes the recent progress made in the past decade regarding lanthanide(III)-based framework SIMs/SMMs, classified by dimensionalities from 1D to 2D and 3D. A comprehensive review regarding both SIMs/SMMs and magnetocaloric behaviours of Ln(III)-coordination polymers has been given by Liu, Wen and coworkers recently.48 For examples of magnetic metal-coordination frameworks made by either 3d or 4f metal atoms, we recommend reviews by Kurmoo,49 Clérac50 and Harris51 which were reported in 2008, 2012 and 2020, respectively. We believe that the study of lanthanide(III)-type frameworks with SIM/SMM behaviours has the potential to lead to the development of new materials with important applications in fields such as data storage, quantum computing and molecular spintronics.
Background
In order for a material to be considered as an SMM, its magnetic moment must be bistable with an energy barrier between the up and down orientations of the moment, as shown in Fig. 1. The appearance of an energy barrier is closely related to magnetic anisotropy, which describes a molecule's tendency to be magnetized along one direction under a magnetic field. Compounds with orbital angular momentum, such as certain 3d metal complexes, exhibit anisotropy of magnetization and energy splitting of sublevels primarily due to spin–orbit coupling (SOC).9 The sublevels are separated by the energy following the equations: Ueff = |D|MS2 (integer spin) and Ueff = |D|(MS2–0.25) (noninteger total spin), where D is the axial anisotropy parameter. When D < 0, the low-lying energy levels are the ones with the highest |S| values, and when D > 0, the opposite situation shows up and the sublevels are inversely oriented.9,52,53 These two opposite forms of magnetic anisotropy are referred to as the easy axis (hard plane) and easy plane (hard axis), respectively. In the former situation, the lowest amount of energy is required for the magnetization process when the magnetic field is aligned with an axis, whereas in the latter case, it is achieved when the field is in a plane.54 In most situations, the bistable ground state requires a negative D value and easy axis magnetic anisotropy. Several reports have demonstrated slow magnetic relaxation behaviours for complexes with a positive D value,54–56 where spin–lattice relaxation in easy-plane systems occurs directly between the ground MS = ±1/2 levels.55,56

The electronic structures of 4f complexes are intrinsically different compared to those of 3d complexes. In 4f metal coordination compounds with orbital angular momentum, SOC arises from the interaction of the magnetic fields generated by S with the unquenched orbital motion (L), resulting in the angular momentum of J (see Fig. 2). SOC splits the 2S+1LJ ground state into multiplets with different values of J.52 In most cases, the multiplets are well separated in energy, and therefore only the lowest-lying state is populated at room temperature.57 As shown in Fig. 2, the energy difference among multiplets with different J values is on the order of ∼104 cm−1. The ligand field further splits the 2S+1LJ ground state multiplet into 2J + 1 sublevels with a quantum number MJ and an energy difference of ∼102 cm−1, where the magnetization relaxes through these levels. Due to the different SIM/SMM mechanisms between d-based and f-based SIMs/SMMs, the hysteresis temperatures and the potential barriers of f-based SIMs/SMMs are anticipated to be higher than those of d-based SIMs/SMMs. The relaxation of magnetization in single-ion magnets (SIMs) occurs through various mechanisms, as depicted in Fig. 3.8,53 The relaxation mechanisms of SIMs/SMMs are complex, and highly sensitive to numerous factors, such as temperature, magnetic field, hyperfine interactions, and intermolecular interactions. Relaxation of the magnetization occurring only by overcoming the energy barrier with Ueff ∼ 298 K is important to implement the SMM in a practical information storage device at room temperature. In such a situation, by keeping the temperature of the device below 298 K, it is ensured that the magnetization is not lost immediately, and a memory effect is retained.

At low temperatures, a dominant relaxation mechanism of SMMs is usually QTM (quantum tunnelling of the magnetization), which is governed by environmental factors, such as the presence of nuclear spins and dipolar coupling. QTM between magnetic ground states is temperature independent. The magnetization process can also tunnel the energy barrier through excited states, by the thermally activated quantum tunnelling (TA-QTM) process, which is temperature dependent.58 For the design of single molecule magnets, QTM needs to be inefficient, which can be realized in compounds with strictly axial ligand field environments.
At higher temperatures, the coupling between the magnetic moment of SIMs/SMMs with lattice phonons is important for the magnetization process, and the spin–lattice relaxation includes direct, Orbach and Raman processes. These three processes can be differentiated by the mechanism for the absorption or emission of the phonon. In the direct process, the relaxation of the magnetization in SIMs/SMMs from the spin up to the spin down process occurs via the emission of a single phonon. The energy difference between the spin up and down states (+MJ and −MJ) in SIMs/SMMs is induced by Zeeman-splitting with a small value of several cm−1. There are not many phonon states available for an energy as small as ∼cm−1. Therefore, two-phonon processes become more important compared to the one-phonon processes for the magnetization relaxation of SIMs/SMMs. The Raman relaxation process can be understood as a two-phonon process that occurs through a virtual intermediate state of the lattice. The Orbach relaxation process consists of the absorption of a phonon that initially excites the spin system, followed by the relaxation of the spin system to the ground state with the emission of a phonon. The Orbach process can be considered as a concerted two-phonon process.
Notably, only the Orbach process has an exponential temperature dependence as shown in eqn (1), resulting in a straight line in the Arrhenius plot of ln
τ vs. 1/T. An important assumption in eqn (1) is that the phonon spectrum of the lattice can be approximated by the Debye model. This model assumes that the density of phonon states depends quadratically on the phonon frequency up to a maximum frequency, known as the Debye frequency.9
Experimental observations
1D Ln(III)-framework SIMs
The single-ion magnetism behavior in one-dimensional chain-type Ln(III) coordination structures has been extensively studied in the past several decades. Both the magnetic anisotropy of the lanthanide(III) ion and intrachain exchange interactions could influence the effective energy barrier of the spin reversal process. We have summarized recent developments and progress in the research field of single-ion magnet behavior in chain-type Ln(III) structures (Table 1). Among these examples, C.-M. Liu and colleagues reported an interesting one-dimensional chain of Dy(III) single-molecule magnets assembled from linear tetranuclear Dy(III) clusters (1, Table 1) in 2017 (Fig. 4).59 The Dy(III) linear chain structure (1) exhibits an enhanced energy barrier of 144.2 cm−1, compared to the tetranuclear Dy(III) building block clusters with a barrier of 45.4 cm−1. The authors proposed that the higher energy barrier in the Dy(III) chain structure is due to a more favourable crystal field for the Dy(III) ions, compared to the tetranuclear building blocks. This experimental result indicates that the construction of a chain structure could address considerable influence on the SMM properties of Ln(III)-based compounds.

The magnetic moment of 4f elements has been observed to effectively tunnel under a barrier, which can be mitigated by applying a small external magnetic field.9 This field can be generated by a neighbouring spin on the ligand, thereby suppressing tunnelling in a zero-field environment. The examples of lanthanide(III)-radical-based SIMs include the azido-radical bridged lanthanide(III) dimer [{[(Me3Si)2N]2(THF)Tb}2(μ-γ2:γ2-N2)]−, which exhibits stable magnetization over extended periods of time with an energy barrier of 327 K,66 and complex Dy(hfac)3(boaDTDA) (hfac = 1,1,1,5,5,5-hexafluoroacetylacetonato; boaDTDA = 4-(benzoxazol-2′-yl)-1,2,3,5-dithiadiazolyl) where the boaDTDA ligand carries the radical.67 Such a radical strategy can also be utilized to construct Ln(III)-based chain structures, such as the ferromagnetic chain structure [Sm(hfac)3(boaDTDA)]n with the ordering transition at Tc = 3 K, reported by Preuss and co-workers in 2016.68,69 The dysprosium chain compound (6) is assembled by an azido-bridged (N3−) radical ligand, which was reported by Tian and co-workers in 2021. Compound 6 shows slow magnetic relaxation under zero-field,63 with an effective energy barrier of around 45.9 K and ferromagnetic coupling between the discrete Dy(III) ions (Fig. 5).

Besides the azido-type bridged ligands, other bridging ligands have been extensively used to construct Ln(III) 1D chain structures. Compound 1–2 and 8–9 were bridged by carboxylic-type ligands.59,60 Compound 5 was bridged by sulfonate ligands with an energy barrier of 82.39 K.62 Compounds 3 and 4 and compound 7 were bridged by a monoatomic oxygen atom and an imidazoline-type ligand, respectively.61,64 An intrachain ferromagnetic interaction with the coupling constant J = 3.04 cm−1 was observed in complexes 3 and 4. Compound 7 was reported to be antiferromagnetic at the ground state. These 1D Ln(III)-chain type structures with different bridging ligands show a wide range of Ueff, as summarized in Table 1.
2D Ln(III)-framework SIMs
The synthesis of two-dimensional (2D) dysprosium–organic complexes has garnered increasing interest in recent years for the study of SMM behaviours at the 2D limit. A summary of 2D Ln(III)-based SMM frameworks with their respective effective energy barriers is displayed in Table 2. A high Ueff value of approximately 160 K was observed in 2D Ln(III)-based coordination frameworks of compound 10 (Dy(L1)(HL1)(phen), Table 2) under a zero dc field.71 In 2021, a 2D Dy(III)-MOF compound 11 was synthesized using a microwave-assisted method, and it can be further exfoliated into stable 2D nanosheets by sonication (Fig. 6). Compound 11 does not show a frequency dependent out-of-phase χ′′ signal under H = 0. By applying a dc field, the quantum tunnelling of the magnetization (QTM) was effectively suppressed in 11, resulting in slow relaxation of the magnetization with an effective energy barrier of 15.3 K in the range 5–8 K.70 Compound 11 was reported to show ferromagnetic interactions between adjacent Dy(III) ions at low temperatures.

In addition to SMM properties, multifunctional 2D Dy-coordination polymer materials can be fabricated, such as compound 13 ([Dy(Hm-dobdc) (H2O)2]·H2O, Table 2) which exhibits magnetism, proton conduction, and luminescence simultaneously.73 The tuning of slow magnetic relaxation by a host–guest interaction has also been observed in compounds 18 and 19.77 Compound 19 was observed to undergo a reversible phase transition induced by the desorption and absorption of methanol and water molecules (Fig. 7). An antiferromagnetic interaction was observed between Dy(III) ions within the dinuclear core of compound 19.

Here, we provide a summary of the bridging ligands used to create 2D Ln(III)-coordination framework compounds, together with magnetic interactions among adjacent Ln(III) atoms. Carboxylic-type ligands have been utilized to construct compounds 10, 13 and 17.71,73,76 In compound 10, a weak ferromagnetic coupling between two Dy(III) ions within a Dy2 dimer was observed in the temperature range of 90–200 K. Magnetic investigations revealed the existence of intramolecular ferromagnetic interactions among Dy(III) ions in compounds 13 and 17. Compounds 11 and 12 were bridged by monoatomic oxygen atoms and a benzoquinone ligand, respectively,70,72 and an anti-ferromagnetic interaction has been observed between Dy(III) atoms in compound 12. Diacylhydrazone was used as the bridging ligand to create 2D structures of compound 14.74 Phosphonoacetic acid and a carbohydrazide ligand can also be utilized as a linker to make compounds 15 and 16
75 and compounds 18 and 19 respectively.77 The temperature dependence of the dc susceptibility of compound 16 shows antiferromagnetic couplings among Er(III) atoms, while ferromagnetic interaction was observed in compound 15 at low temperature.
3D Ln(III)-framework SIMs
Multitopic organic and inorganic linkers offer a means of organizing metal cluster nodes into a regular three-dimensional array. To create a 3D array of Ln(III) atoms, various types of bridging ligands can be utilized. Linkers such as carboxylic-type ligands have been used to create compounds 23, 26, 29–33, 35–41, 46, 49–50 and 52.35,42,78–88 Compounds 31 and 32 have been reported to show ferromagnetic coupling in 3D frameworks, and such a magnetic interaction makes a positive contribution to the energy barrier of SMM/SIM properties. Magnetic studies of compound 33 reveal the existence of weak antiferromagnetic interactions among Dy(III) ions. The connectivity of the Dy(III)-carboxylate chains leads to weak ferromagnetic interactions between the Dy(III) ions in compound 36.83 Compounds 38–41 are proposed to be paramagnetic based on the rectilinear drop of the χM−1vs. T plot.85 At low temperature (<4 K), a slight increase in the χMT value for compound 49 indicates weak ferromagnetic interactions between Dy(III) ions.86 An exchange of the coordinated and guest solvent molecules (acetone or DMF) was reported to result in different magnetic relaxation and ferroelectric properties of compound 50.87 Compound 22 was bridged by the benzoquinone ligand, where the neighbouring Dy(III) atoms show anti-ferromagnetic exchange interaction.72 Hydrazide and/or a 4,4′-bypyridyl-N,N′-dioxide ligand was employed to construct compounds 24, 25, 27 and 44–45.37,89,90 Complexes 24 and 25 show antiferromagnetic interactions with J values of −2.68 cm−1 and −2.39 cm−1, respectively. The ligand tetrathiafulvalene tetrabenzoate was used to link Ln(III) building blocks for the framework compound of 28.91 A phosphonate ligand was used to produce 3D coordination framework structures of compounds 34 and 51.92,93 Compound 51 was found to show antiferromagnetic coupling interactions among Dy(III) ions, as the χM−1vs. T plot fitted by the Curie–Weiss law [χM = C/(T − θ)] gives a negative θ value of −2.58 K.92 An oxalate-type ligand has been used to construct compounds 26 and 42–43.35,94 Compound 26 was reported to show ferromagnetic coupling in the 3D Dy(III) coordination framework structures. Here, we will present several 3D Ln(III)-based framework compounds for which SMM properties have been described (Table 3).

Thiocyanate, with delocalized charge and a polarizable π system, is a very versatile inorganic ligand.96,97 Thiocyanate is composed of two donor atoms of nitrogen and sulfur, which can both coordinate to metals, resulting in the formation of homo- or hetero-metallic MOFs involving various combinations of metal ion node points.96–99 These combinations lead to the formation of materials with interesting solid-state structures and hetero-metallic arrays. In a recent work by Yamashita and coworkers, three new Dy3+, Tb3+ and Gd3+ based coordination frameworks were reported, which are linked by inorganic SCN ligands and K+ ions.95 By examining the magnetic properties (Fig. 8), compound 20 was observed to show SMM properties with slow magnetic relaxation behavior under zero dc field and a Ueff of 60 K.

The host–guest interactions in 3D Ln(III)-based coordination frameworks can address a significant influence on the magnetization relaxation process. In 2013, Li, Shi, and their colleagues reported a reversible sorption and desorption process between compound Dy(BTC) (46) and Dy(BTC)(H2O)DMF by coordinating water and DMF molecules (Fig. 9).42 Compound 46 shows SMM behaviour with an energy barrier of 45.88 K and a pre-exponential factor of τ0 = 2.43 × 10−6 s, while in compound Dy(BTC)(H2O)DMF with water and DMF molecule coordination, no peak in the out-of-phase ac susceptibility (χ′′) plot was observed. These experimental observations indicate that the host–guest interactions can effectively switch-on and -off the slow magnetic relaxation in a classic lanthanide(III) metal–organic framework system. Similarly, in 2015, Shi, Chibotaru, Gao, Long and co-workers reported a 3D MOF made with Dy2 single-molecule magnets as nodes (compound 21, Fig. 10). Guest solvent exchange between DMF and CH3CN induces a reversible single-crystal to single-crystal transformation of compound Dy2(INO)4(NO3)2·2CH3CN (21).43 A slow magnetic relaxation process was observed in 21 with an effective energy barrier of 109 K. In contrast, no slow magnetic relaxation process has been observed for the compound 21 with DMF as the guest solvent, in which the guest CH3CN molecule in compound 21 was replaced by a DMF molecule. The solvent guest-molecule effect observed in compound 21 was reported to be due to a slowing of the relaxation rate of incoherent quantum tunnelling of the magnetization.43

Tunable proton conduction can also be realized in Ln(III) frameworks, together with the functionalities of magnetic refrigeration and slow magnetic relaxation. For example, 53 was reported to show field-induced slow magnetic relaxation properties with an effective energy barrier of 30.4 K and a proton conductivity of 2.96 × 10−6 S cm−1 under high temperature and humidity conditions.101 An interesting channel-mediated proton conduction functionality shows up in a 54 Dy(III) framework with field induced single-molecule-magnetic behavior.102
Tables 1–3 summarize the Ln(III)-frameworks exhibiting single-ion magnetism, with Dy(III) contributing the most cases. In contrast, other Ln(III)-frameworks, such as Gd(III) or Tb(III), typically exhibit multiple Debye relaxations and a lack of slow magnetization under a zero direct current (DC) field.95 As a result, structures of Dy(III)-frameworks have been reviewed and described in greater detail herein.
Conclusions
Magnetic metal coordination frameworks are an intriguing platform for developing the next generation of multi-functional magnets. Compared to inorganic solids, metal coordination frameworks offer several advantages, such as customizable structures with controllable porosity and post-synthetic chemical modification. This review summarizes recent progress in Ln(III)-based coordination frameworks that exhibit SMM/SIM properties. We believe that the study of Ln(III)-based coordination frameworks with SMM behaviours have the potential to lead to the development of new materials with applications in fields such as data storage and quantum computing.
