Journal ArticleDOI
Magnetic hysteresis up to 80 kelvin in a dysprosium metallocene single-molecule magnet
Fu-Sheng Guo,Benjamin M. Day,Benjamin M. Day,Yan-Cong Chen,Ming-Liang Tong,Akseli Mansikkamäki,Richard A. Layfield +6 more
TL;DR: A dysprosium compound is reported that manifests magnetic hysteresis at temperatures up to 80 kelvin, which overcomes an essential barrier toward the development of nanomagnet devices that function at practical temperatures.
Journal ArticleDOI
A Dysprosium Metallocene Single-Molecule Magnet Functioning at the Axial Limit.
Fu-Sheng Guo,Benjamin M. Day,Yan-Cong Chen,Ming-Liang Tong,Akseli Mansikkamäki,Richard A. Layfield +5 more
TL;DR: The exceptional magnetic axiality of 2Dy is highlighted by computational studies, which reveal this system to be the first lanthanide SMM in which all low-lying Kramers doublets correspond to a well-defined MJ value, with no significant mixing even in the higher doublets.
Journal ArticleDOI
Cyclopentadienyl Ligands in Lanthanide Single-Molecule Magnets: One Ring To Rule Them All?
TL;DR: In establishing that the two cyclopentadienyl ligands combine to provide a strongly axial crystal field, this work was able to propose a robust magneto-structural correlation for understanding the properties of dysprosium metallocene SMMs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Normal-to-Abnormal Rearrangement and NHC Activation in Three-Coordinate Iron(II) Carbene Complexes
Benjamin M. Day,Thomas Pugh,Daniël Hendriks,Célia Fonseca Guerra,David J. Evans,F. Matthias Bickelhaupt,F. Matthias Bickelhaupt,Richard A. Layfield +7 more
TL;DR: The 'normal' three-coordinate iron-NHC complex [(IPr)Fe(N'')2] (N″ = N(SiMe3)2) rearranges to its abnormal NHC analogue on heating, providing a rare abnormal iron-aNHCcomplex, and the first such three- coordinate complex.
Journal ArticleDOI
Bicyclic guanidinate compounds of magnesium and their activity as pre-catalysts in the Tishchenko reaction.
TL;DR: A synthetic route to magnesium guanidinate compounds that avoids ligand redistribution is reported; selected derivatives are active pre-catalysts in the dimerization of aldehydes.
