comparatively rare because of the difficulty in furthering magnetic coupling between the orbital of the bridging ligand and the 4f orbital of the LnIII ions. Recently, 4f complexes containing organic radicals have attracted a lot of interest because many of these 4f complexes have been observed to display SMM behavior, owing to the Ising anisotropy of the 4f ions and the strong magnetic coupling interaction between the 4f ions and organic radicals.13,58−63 Long and his colleagues demonstrated that the radical-bridged dinuclear LnIII systems have contributed a few of the best SMMs, with the highest blocking temperature of 20 K.64−67 Although the radical ligand is impactful for engendering an intensive direct-exchange interaction with the free single electrons of the 4f ion, control of more than two of the polynuclear clusters employing this highly reactive unit is extraordinarily challenging. The radical ligand with substitution of a thiophene ring coordinated with rare-earth metal seems to easily give singlechain magnets (SCMs). Until now, only two one-dimensional radical-lanthanide chains ([Dy(hfac)3(NITThienPh)]n and [Tb3(hfac)9(NIT-2thien)3]n) containing a thiophene ring have been reported,68,69 and both of them exhibit magnetic blocking. Motivated to obtain high-performance SCMs, we choose the benzothiophene radical (NITPhThio) as the ligand to react with Dy(hfac)3. Although we did not obtain the expected single-chain compound, the most fascinating thing is that we synthesized the first tetranuclear cage and mononuclear mixed DyIII-radical complex [Dy4(hfac)8(IMPhThio)2(OH)4][Dy(hfac)3(NITPhThio)2] (2) based on the mononuclear [Dy(hfac)3(NITPhThio)2] (1) and Dy(hfac)3·2H2O [hfac = hexafluoroacetylacetone; NITPhThio = (2-(benzo[d]thiophen2-yl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazolin-1-oxyl-3-oxide; IMPhThio = 2-(benzo[d]thiophen-2-yl)-4,4,5,5-tetramethylimidazolin-1oxyl; Scheme 1]. Complex 1 is a trispin complex that contains a central DyIII ion and two terminal NITPhThio ligands; it exhibits paramagnetic character above 2 K. Complex 2 shows a field-induced slow relaxation of magnetization behavior. The structure conversion from mononuclear 1 to polymeric cage 2 and the magnetic transformation from paramagnetic 1 to SMM 2 demonstrate effective ways to obtain novel molecular-based magnetic materials. Evaporation of the filtrate obtained by adding the CH2Cl2 solution of NITPhThio to the n-heptane solution of Dy(hfac)3· 2H2O formed dark-blue crystals of complex 1. The reaction of 1

ABSTRACT: The first tetranuclear metallacage and mononuclear cocrystalline DyIII-radical complex was synthesized and characterized. The metallacage in [Dy4(hfac)8(IMPhThio)2(OH)4][Dy(hfac)3(NITPhThio)2] consists of Dy(hfac)2+ groups bridged by OH− and the IMPhThio radical. Field-induced single-molecule-magnet behavior was observed in the nitronyl nitroxide radical-bridged polynuclear complex.

ecently, the research on polynuclear transition-metal and lanthanide clusters has attracted much attention, owing to the aesthetically novel structures that some complexes exhibit1−4 the latent applications in catalysis,5,6 magnetic materials7−10 and the luminescent materials.11,12 In particular, the most successful achievement in this area was the discovery of single-molecule magnets (SMMs), which exhibit slow magnetic relaxation behavior at the cryogenic temperature. Since the seminal discovery of SMM behavior in the transition-metal cluster Mn12Ac,7 polymetallic clusters containing transitionmetal ions were mainly being investigated for SMM behavior,11,13,14 and very recently 3d/4f heterometallic complexes15−19 and, subsequently, pure 4f complexes10−25 have been regarded as more appropriate for constructing SMMs. The incentive for mixing 3d and 4f ions into a single-molecule aggregate is to obtain high ground-state spin via the introduction of 3d ions and, at the same time, to achieve a large magnetic anisotropy by the inclusion of 4f ions, whereas a distinct advantage of the 4f-based SMMs is that they can achieve the goal of high-performance SMMS, owing to the large unquenched orbital angular momentum in the ground state and the related huge Ising-type magnetic anisotropy.26 The two parameters are the key factors in engendering much higher effective energy barriers. Ishikawa and his colleagues reported the first SMMs based on the lanthanide ion in 2003, which opened a new chapter in modern magnetism.20 Among the lanthanide metal ions, the DyIII ion has undoubtedly given the largest quantity of pure 4f SMMs, owing to the intrinsic large magnetic moment with a Kramers doublet ground state of 6H15/2 and the strong Ising-type magnetic anisotropy.12 Until now, various mononuclear, 26−33 dinuclear, 34−39 trinuclear, 40−42 tetranuclear,37,43−47 and polynuclear48−56 dysprosium-based SMMs have been reported, among which the highest effective energy barrier of a Dy5 pyramid cluster was up to 528 K.57 However, polynuclear SMMs based on pure lanthanide metal ions are © XXXX American Chemical Society

tetrahedron, looking like two caps of the cage (Figure S6). This is the first example for LnIII-radical systems with the tetrahedron cage configuration. Another interesting phenomenon is that the redox reaction involved the reduction of the radical NITPhThio to the radical IMPhThio (Figure S6). This phenomena has been reported in transition-metal-radical complexes71−74 but has never been reported in LnIII-radical systems. At present, the mechanistic details of the deoxygenation pathway are uncertain, and it is predicted that the presence of n-heptane and Dy(hfac)3· 2H2O catalyzes the deoxygenation process. On the basis of refs 71−74, C2H5OH, Cu2+, Co2+, and Mn2+ can also catalyze the deoxygenation process. The temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibilities for 1 is studied and exhibited in Figure S7. The observed roomtemperature χMT value is 15.06 cm3·K·mol−1, which is close to the calculated values of 14.92 cm3·K·mol−1 for an uncoupled system of one DyIII ion and two radicals. with a decrease of the temperature, the χMT value of 1 almost remains constant until 90 K and then decreases rapidly to a minimum of 10.66 cm3·K· mol−1 at 2.0 K. The data in the range of 2−300 K obey the Curie−Weiss law [χM = C/(T − θ)], with C = 15.14 cm3·K· mol−1 and θ = −1.97 K. Complex 2 exhibits a room-temperature χMT value of 71.45 cm3·K·mol−1, somewhat lower than the theoretical value of 72.30 cm3·K·mol−1 for five magnetically isolated DyIII ions (6H15/2 and g = 4/3) and four NO radicals (S = 1 /2 and g = 2) (Figure S7). Upon cooling, the χMT value decreases slowly until 12 K and then decays rapidly to a minimum of 51.24 cm3·K·mol−1 at 2 K. The decrease of the χMT value in the high-temperature region can be attributed to depopulation of the LnIII MJ states and/or antiferromagnetic coupling between spin carriers. In the whole temperature range, the 1/χM versus T curve follows the Curie−Weiss law with Curie constant C = 71.33 cm3·K·mol−1 and Weiss constant θ = −1.88 K. The alternating-current (ac) susceptibility measurement was measured under a 0 or 5000 Oe direct-current (dc) field with different frequencies to probe the dynamic magnetic behaviors for both 1 and 2. Complex 1 displays a paramagnetic property (Figures S8 and S9), thus indicating no obvious slow relaxation of magnetization behavior. For complex 2, the out-of-phase susceptibility shows obvious frequency-dependent signals (Figure S11), but the maxima for χ″ are not found under zero dc field. The dynamic behavior for 2 suggests that the magnetization relaxation process may be very fast because of the quantum tunneling mechanical process in lanthanide SMMs within the lowest energy doublet. It is generally known that the use of a static magnetic field always effectively suppresses the QTM. Thus, a dc field of 5000 Oe was exerted to explore the ac magnetic susceptibility for complex 2; both temperature and frequency dependencies of the ac susceptibility were carried out, and well-resolved peaks emerged for the out-of-phase signals (Figures 1 and S12). On the basis of the temperature-dependent signals, the relaxation process obeys the Arrhenius law τ = τ0 exp(Ueff/kBT), where τ0 is a preexponential factor, τ−1 = 2πν (ν is extracted from the peak frequency of χ″), and Ueff is the effective anisotropy energy barrier. The plot of ln τ versus T−1 shows a linear dependence (Figure S13), which indicates that the relaxation process follows a thermally activated Orbach mechanism with an energy gap Ueff/kB of 32 K and a preexponential τ0 of 2.96 × 10−9 s, which falls in the range of SMMs.58−69 On the basis of the frequency dependencies of the ac susceptibility measurements, Cole−Cole plots in the form of χ′′ versus χ′ with approximate semicircular shapes have been

with equimolar [Dy(hfac)3·2H2O] in heptane/dichloromethane gave crystals of 2. Both of the compounds were characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction analyses (Table S1). Complex 1 crystallizes in the monoclinic P21/c space group with Z = 4, and it has a structure very similar to those of the reported terbium or gadolinium complexes.70 In 1, each [Dy(hfac)3(NITPhThio)2] unit shows a mononuclear trispin structure, with the central DyIII ion existing in a DyO8 coordination sphere. As depicted in Scheme 1 and Figure S3, the DyIII ion is surrounded by two NO groups from two NITPhThio radical ligands and three bischelate hfac−. The two Dy−Orad bond lengths are 2.346(3) and 2.361(3) Å, respectively, and the Dy−O(hfac) distances range from 2.336(2) to 2.386(3) Å. The N−O bond lengths in 1 [1.305(4) and 1.308(4) Å] are close to the typical bond lengths in the free nitronyl nitroxides.68,69 When the D2d symmetry is applied to the central ions, the CSM method gives the minimum offset value from the ideal model with S = 0.094 (Figure S3 and Table S2). The molecular structure of 2 belongs to the triclinic P1̅ space group and consists of one mononuclear [DyO8] motif and a tetranuclear [Dy4O4] cage, and all of the five DyIII ions are eight-coordinated and display a distorted triangular dodecahedron geometry (Figure S5 and Table S2). The coordination environments of Dy1, Dy2, Dy3, and Dy4 are basically the same; Dy1 as an example is described in detail. The Dy1 center is coordinated by two bischelate hfac− anions, one μ2-NO (O1) group from the radical ligand, and three μ3-OH− (O19, O20, and O21) bridges. Although Dy5 has a different coordination environment from the above four DyIII centers, it has the same coordination environment as the DyIII ions in complex 1. In 2, the Dy−O(hfac) distances range from 2.291(8) to 2.398(8) Å, the Dy−Orad bond lengths are in the range of 2.404(7)− 2.467(6) Å, and the four μ3-OH− groups connect to the DyIII ions at four vertices, with the Dy−O bond distances ranging from 2.315(8) to 2.390(7) Å. The two N−O bond lengths in 2 [1.378(13) and 1.384(12) Å] are a little longer than that in 1, which is consistent with the literature.71 The prominent structural feature in 2 is the tetranuclear cage [Dy4O4] core, which exists as a tetrahedron configuration connected by four μ3-OH− anions (Figure S6). At the same time, every radical oxygen atom (O1 and O2) coordinates to two DyIII ions of the B

achieved (Figure S13). The data have been fitted on the generalized Debye model, and the distribution coefficient α value has been 0.50−0.15 (between 2 and 4 K). Compared to the mononuclear complex 1, the spin dynamics of the polynuclear metallacage 2 have been improved obviously. This result is associated with the different structual features. For complex 2, the radical oxygen atoms (O1 and O2) as bridges in the tetrahedron cage increase the magnetic interactions of the spin carries. The magnetic coupling resulting from radical bridges typically improves the SMM behavior.75 In conclusion, the first tetranuclear metallacage and mononuclear cocrystalline lanthanide-radical complex 2 is reported. Field-induced SMM behavior was discovered in the radical-bridged polynuclear complex 2. The successful synthesis of this metallacage compound illustrates the possibility of the constructing higher-nuclearity 4f complexes with superior SMM properties by a novel construction strategy using perfomed LnNit complexes as metalloligands.
