Octahedral Hexachloro Environment of Dy3+ with Slow Magnetic Relaxation and Luminescent Properties
Abstract
The compound [BiCNIm]3[DyCl6] was synthesized from a nitrile-functionalized imidazolium ionic liquid [BiCNIm][Cl] and DyCl3 ⋅ 6H2O in acetonitrile using solvothermal conditions. Structural characterization reveals that the Dy3+ ions are in a quasi-regular octahedral environment, formed by six chloride anions. The magnetic study indicates that this mononuclear compound exhibits a Single Ion Magnet behaviour. This behaviour is compared to that of other mononuclear compounds containing Dy3+ ions in various octahedral environment.
