Single-ion magnets based on mononuclear lanthanide complexes with chiral Schiff base ligands [Ln(FTA)3L] (Ln = Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb and Dy).
A series of mononuclear lanthanide complexes with chiral Schiff base ligands [Ln(FTA)(3)L] [Ln = Dy(1), Sm(2), Eu(3), Gd(4), and Tb(5), L = (S,S)-2,2'-Bis(4-benzyl-2-oxazoline)] were synthesized and characterized. Among these complexes, complex 1 represents the first example of mononuclear lanthanide complexes displaying single-ion magnet behavior and ferroelectricity.
