Enhanced single-ion magnetic and ferroelectric properties of mononuclear Dy(iii) enantiomeric pairs through the coordination role of chiral ligands.
The structures and properties of two mononuclear Dy(iii) enantiomeric pairs were dramatically controlled by crystallization temperature; the enantiomeric pair with coordinated chiral N,N'-donor ligands exhibits enhanced single-ion magnetic, ferroelectric and chiroptical properties with respect to the other one with protonated chiral N,N'-donor ligands.
