Synthesis and single-molecule magnet properties of a trimetallic dysprosium metallocene cation
journal contribution
posted on 2023-06-10, 01:08 authored by Mian He, Fu-Sheng Guo, Jinkui Tang, Akseli Mansikkamäki, Richard LayfieldRichard LayfieldThe dimetallic fulvalene-bridged dysprosium complex [{Dy(Cp*)(µ-BH4)}2(Fvtttt)] (1, Cp* = C5Me5) is converted into the trimetallic borohydride-bridged species [{Dy(Cp*)(Fvtttt)}2Dy(µ-BH4)3] (2). In turn, 2 is reacted with a silylium electrophile to give [{Dy(Cp*)(µ-BH4)(Fvtttt)}2Dy][B(C6F5)4] ([3][B(C6F5)3]), the first trimetallic dysprosocenium cation. Compound [3][B(C6F5)3] can also be formed directly from 1 by adding two equivalents of the electrophile. A three-fold enhancement in the effective energy barrier from 2 to 3 is observed and interpreted with the aid ofab initiocalculations.
