title: Self-assembly of [Cu(II)Tb(III)]3+ and [W(CN)8]3- tectons: a case study of a mixture containing two complexes showing slow-relaxation of the magnetization.
abstract: The reaction of [Cu(valen)] with Tb(NO(3))(3) and (Bu(3)NH)(3)[W(CN)(8)] affords two types of crystals: [{W(CN)(8)}Cu(valen)Tb(OH(2))(5)]·2H(2)O (1, a discrete trinuclear complex) and [{W(CN)(8)}Cu(valen)Tb(OH(2))(4)]·CH(3)CN·H(2)O (2, an infinite zig-zag chain), both compounds showing slow relaxation of the magnetization (H(2)valen is the Schiff base resulting from the reaction of o-vanillin with 1,2-ethanediamine).
