Abstract

The synthesis and magnetic characterisation of a new series of 1D {Mn2IIILn2III}n (Ln = Pr, Nd, Gd, Tb, Dy) coordination polymers are described. The repeating unit consists of a tetranuclear fragment made up of two MnIII and two LnIII ions exhibiting a butterfly/planar-diamond motif. The MnIII ions are situated in the body of the butterfly, with the LnIII ions occupying the outer wing sites. Each tetranuclear unit is linked by two bridging sulfonate ligands resulting in a 1D coordination polymer. Direct current (dc) magnetic measurements reveal the presence of weak magnetic interactions which are quantified for the {Mn2IIIGd2III}n complex, with exchange J values for the MnIII–GdIII and MnIII–MnIII pairwise interactions of 0.04 and 1.69 cm–1, respectively. Alternating current (ac) susceptibility measurements reveal an absence of out-of-phase (χM′′) signals at all temperatures and frequencies utilising a 3.5 Oe oscillating ac field and a zero static dc field. Application of a bias dc field (2000 Oe), however, reveals field induced slow relaxation of the magnetisation for the DyIII complex.
