A novel oxime-derived 3d–4f single-molecule magnet exhibiting two single-ion magnetic relaxations†
Abstract
A new oxime-derived {DyIII4NiII6} cluster with a paramagnetic butterfly-shaped DyIII4 core and peripheral diamagnetic planar-square NiII ions was solvothermally synthesized. The weak ferromagnetically coupled cluster exhibits field-induced single-molecule magnetic behavior with two thermally activated single-ion relaxations.
