Strongly Axial Monodentate Carboxylate for Dysprosium Single-Ion Magnet

Key Points

• To explore the application of axial ligands in enhancing the properties of dysprosium-based single-molecule magnets.
• Investigated the synthesis of air-sensitive axial ligands.
• Analyzed magnetic properties of dysprosium-based single-molecule magnets (Dy-SMMs).
• Evaluated magnetic blocking behavior of the resulting complexes.
• Demonstrated exceptional magnetic blocking behavior in Dy-SMMs with new ligands.
• Showed that air-sensitive ligands significantly improve magnet performance.
