A new family of nonanuclear lanthanide clusters displaying magnetic and optical properties.
The initial employment of 2-(hydroxymethyl)pyridine in 4f metal chemistry has afforded a new family of Ln(III)(9) clusters with a sandglass-like topology and dual physical properties; the Dy(III) member shows single-molecule magnetism behavior, while the Eu(III) analogue exhibits intense red photoluminescence.
