Spin Dynamics in Ruᴵᴵᴵ-Oxalate Complexes: Synthesis, Characterization, and Ab Initio Insights

Key Points

• Investigate the synthesis and magnetic properties of Ru(III)-oxalate complexes.
• Synthesis of neutral 1D chains from RuCl2 and LnCl3·nH2O via self-assembly.
• Characterization of complexes using magnetic relaxation techniques.
• Analysis of magnetic properties under applied fields.
• Compounds exhibit field-induced slow magnetic relaxation primarily through Raman processes.
• Dy-containing chain shows no field-induced magnetic relaxation behaviour.
