Twist angle perturbation on mixed (phthalocyaninato)(porphyrinato) dysprosium(III) double-decker SMMs

Abstract

Correlation between molecular structures and slow relaxation of magnetization of three mixed (phthalocyaninato)(porphyrinato) dysprosium(III) double-deckers clearly reveals the effect of the sandwich-type molecular structure, in particular the twist angle, on the quantum tunneling (QT) at zero dc field of these complexes, providing the first direct evidence to the theoretical inference. © 2012 The Royal Society of Chemistry.
