Abstract: | Five dinuclear lanthanide complexes [Ln2L2(NO3)2(OAc)4] · 2CH3CN [Ln = Gd ( 1 ), Tb ( 2 ), Dy ( 3 ), Ho ( 4 ), and Er ( 5 )] [L = 2‐((2‐pyridinylmethylene)hydrazine)ethanol] were synthesized from the reactions of Ln(NO3)3 · 6H2O with L and CH3COOH in the presence of triethylamine. Their crystal structures were determined. They show similar dinuclear cores with the two lanthanide ions bridged by four acetate ligands in the μ2‐η1:η2 and μ2‐η1:η1 bridging modes. Each LnIII ion in complexes 1 – 5 is further chelated by one L ligand and one nitrate ion, leading to the formation of a nine‐coordinated mono‐capped square antiprism arrangement. The dinuclear molecules in 1 – 5 are consolidated by hydrogen bonds and π ··· π stacking interactions to build a two‐dimensional sheet. Their magnetic properties were investigated. It revealed antiferromagnetic interactions between the GdIII ions in 1 and ferromagnetic interactions between the TbIII ions in 2 . The profiles of χmT vs. T curves of 3 – 5 reveal that the magnetic properties of 3 – 5 are probably dominated by the thermal depopulation of the Stark sublevels of LnIII ions. |
