Leveraging Surface Siloxide Electronics to Enhance the Relaxation Properties of a Single-Molecule Magnet

Résumé

Single-molecule magnets (SMMs) hold promise for unmatched information storage density as well as for applications in quantum computing and spintronics. To date, the most successful SMMs have been organometallic lanthanide complexes. However, their surface immobilization, one of the requirements for device fabrication and commercial application, remains challenging due to the sensitivity of the magnetic properties to small changes in the electronic structure of the parent SMM. Thus, finding controlled approaches to SMM surface deposition is a timely challenge. In this contribution we apply the concept of isolobality to identify siloxides present at the surface of partially dehydroxylated silica as a suitable replacement for archetypal ligand architectures in organometallic SMMs. We demonstrate theoretically and experimentally that isolated siloxide anchoring sites not only enable successful immobilization but also lead to a 2 orders of magnitude increase in magnetization relaxation times.
