An organophosphate 3d–4f heterometallic polyoxoniobate nanowire

Abstract

Four different structural compositions of organophosphate, 3d transition metal, 4f lanthanide and polyoxoniobate (PONb) are unified in a system for the first time to form a new type of organophosphate 3d–4f heterometallic inorganic–organic hybrid PONb nanowire. Interesting magnetic anisotropy and slow magnetic relaxation are found in the PONb nanowire.
