Michele Vonci studied at the University of Florence where he obtained his Laurea in Chemistry under the supervision of Roberta Sessoli and Andrea Caneschi with a thesis – largely carried out in the laboratory of Richard Winpenny at the University of Manchester – on the magnetic properties of polynuclear nickel and cobalt complexes. In 2013, he joined the Boskovic research group at the University of Melbourne as a Ph.D. student. His research interests are currently focused on the synthesis and characterisation of magnetic properties of lanthanoid complexes supported by polyoxometalates.



Colette Boskovic obtained her B.Sc. (Hons) and Ph.D. degrees from the University of Melbourne, undertaking her Ph.D. research under the supervision of Tony Wedd. After post-doctoral stints with George Christou at Indiana University and Hans Güdel at the University of Berne, she returned to the University of Melbourne in 2004, where she is now Senior Lecturer. Colette was awarded the 2013 Alan Sargeson Award from the Inorganic Chemistry Division of the Royal Australian Chemical Institute. Her research interests lie in the fields of molecular magnetism, polyoxometalate chemistry, and switchable molecular materials.

Abstract

Polyoxometalates are robust and versatile multidentate oxygen-donor ligands, eminently suitable for coordination to trivalent lanthanoid ions. To date, 10 very different structural families of such complexes have been found to exhibit slow magnetic relaxation due to single-molecule magnet (SMM) behaviour associated with the lanthanoid ions. These families encompass complexes with between one and four of the later lanthanoid ions: Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, and Yb. The lanthanoid coordination numbers vary between six and eleven and a range of coordination geometries are evident. The highest energy barrier to magnetisation reversal measured to date for a lanthanoid–polyoxometalate SMM is Ueff/kB = 73 K for the heterodinuclear Dy–Eu compound (Bu4N)8H4[DyEu(OH)2(γ-SiW10O36)2].
