mannich base ligand 6,6′-{(2-(dimethylamino)ethylazanediyl)bis(methylene)}bis(2-methoxy-4-methylphenol)
with Ni(ClO4)2·6H2O and lanthanide(III)
salts [Dy(III) (1); Tb(III) (2); Gd (III)
(3); Ho(III) (4); and Er(III) (5)] in the presence of triethylamine and pivalic acid afforded a series
of heterometallic hexanuclear Ni(II)–Ln(III) coordination compounds,
[Ni3Ln3(μ3-O)(μ3-OH)3(L)3(μ-OOCCMe3)3]·(ClO4)·wCH3CN·xCH2Cl2·yCH3OH·zH2O
[for 1, w = 8, x =
3, y = 0, z = 5.5; for 2, w = 0, x = 5, y = 0, z = 6.5; for 3, w = 15, x = 18, y = 3, z = 7.5; for 4, w = 15, x = 20, y = 6, z = 9.5; and for 5, w = 0, x = 3, y = 2, z = 3]. The molecular structure
of these complexes reveals the presence of a monocationic hexanuclear
derivative containing one perchlorate counteranion. The asymmetric
unit of each of the hexanuclear derivatives comprises the dinuclear
motif [NiLn(L)(μ3-O)(μ3-OH)(μ-Piv)].
The cation contains three interlinked O-capped clusters: one LnIII3O and three NiIILnIII2O. Each of the lanthanide centers is eight- coordinated (distorted
trigonal-dodecahedron), while the nickel centers are hexacoordinate
(distorted octahedral). The study of the magnetic properties of all
compounds are reported and suggests single molecule magnet behavior
for the Dy(III) derivative (1).
