Eight-coordinate mono- and dinuclear Dy(III) complexes containing a rigid equatorial plane and an anisobidentate carboxylate ligand in the axial position: synthesis, structure and magnetism.

A rigid pentadentate chelating ligand (H₂L) has been utilized to synthesize a series of octacoordinate mononuclear complexes, [Dy(L)(Ph₃PO)(OOCR)] (where R = C₆H₅ (1), C(CH₃)₃ (2), CF₃ (3)) and a dinuclear complex, [Dy<sub>... View More
