The first heterometallic examples of 3d–4f heptanuclear [MnII3LnIII4] complexes with planar disc-like cores and diverse magnetic properties†
Abstract
A family of heptanuclear [MnII3LnIII4] clusters with planar disc-like cores have been synthesized by a solvothermal route, where Ln = La, Pr, Nd, and Gd, and such fascinating topology is unprecedented in 3d–4f complexes. Dc magnetic susceptibility data show different magnetic behaviors derived from the difference in Ln ions.
