Encapsulation of a [Dy(OH2)8]3+ cation: magneto-optical and theoretical studies of a caged, emissive SMM

Abstract

The first supramolecular cage formed by three benzo-15-crown-5 macrocycles encapsulating a [Dy(OH2)8]3+ guest cation is reported, with the Dy(III) centre exhibiting local pseudo square antiprismatic D4d symmetry. The anisotropy barrier extracted from ac susceptibility studies, emission spectroscopy and ab initio calculations reveals that the second excited state Kramers doublet plays a key role in the magnetization dynamics due to the Ising character and near coparallel nature of the ground and first excited Kramers doublets.
