of 3d–4f binuclear complexes, [M(3-MeOsaltn)(MeOH)x(ac)Ln(hfac)2] (x = 0 for M = CuII, ZnII; x = 1 for M = CoII, NiII; Ln = GdIII, TbIII, DyIII, LaIII),
have been synthesized and characterized, where 3-MeOsaltn, ac, and
hfac denote N,N′-bis(3-methoxy-2-oxybenzylidene)-1,3-propanediaminato,
acetato, and hexafluoroacetylacetonato, respectively. The X-ray analyses
demonstrated that all the complexes have an acetato- and diphenolato-bridged
MII–LnIII binuclear structure. The CuII–LnIII and ZnII–LnIII complexes are crystallized in an isomorphous triclinic
space group P1̅, where the CuII or
ZnII ion has square pyramidal coordination geometry with
N2O2 donor atoms of 3-MeOsaltn at the equatorial
coordination sites and one oxygen atom of the bridging acetato ion
at the axial site. The CoII–LnIII and
NiII–LnIII complexes are crystallized
in an isomorphous monoclinic space group P21/c, where the CoII or NiII ion at the high-spin state has an octahedral coordination environment
with N2O2 donor atoms of 3-MeOsaltn at the equatorial
sites, and one oxygen atom of the bridged acetato and a methanol oxygen
atom at the two axial sites. Each LnIII ion for all the
complexes is coordinated by four oxygen atoms of two phenolato and
two methoxy oxygen atoms of “ligand-complex” M(3-MeOsaltn),
four oxygen atoms of two hfac–, and one oxygen atom
of the bridging acetato ion; thus, the coordination number is nine.
The temperature dependent magnetic susceptibilities from 1.9 to 300
K and the field-dependent magnetization up to 5 T at 1.9 K were measured.
Due to the important orbital contributions of the LnIII (TbIII, DyIII) and to a lesser extent the
MII (NiII, CoII) components, the
magnetic interaction between MII and LnIII ions
were investigated by an empirical approach based on a comparison of
the magnetic properties of the MII–LnIII, ZnII–LnIII, and MII–LaIII complexes. The differences of χMT and M(H) values for
the MII–LnIII, ZnII–LnIII and those for the MII–LaIII complexes, that is, Δ(T) = (χMT)MLn – (χMT)ZnLn – (χMT)MLa = JMLn(T) and Δ(H) = MMLn(H) – MZnLn(H)
– MMLa(H) = JMLn(H), give the information of 3d–4f
magnetic interaction. The magnetic interactions are ferromagnetic
if MII = (CuII, NiII, and CoII) and Ln = (GdIII, TbIII, and DyIII). The magnitudes of the ferromagnetic interaction, JMLn(T) and JMLn(H), are in the order CuII–GdIII > CuII–DyIII > CuII–TbIII, while those are in
the
order of MII–GdIII ≈ MII–TbIII > MII–DyIII for MII = NiII and CoII. Alternating
current (ac) susceptibility measurements demonstrated that the NiII–TbIII and CoII–TbIII complexes showed out-of-phase signal with frequency-dependence
and the NiII–DyIII and CoII–DyIII complexes showed small frequency-dependence.
The energy barrier for the spin flipping was estimated from the Arrhenius
plot to be 14.9(6) and 17.0(4) K for the NiII–TbIII and CoII–TbIII complexes,
respectively, under a dc bias field of 1000 Oe.
