The Versatility of Ethylene Glycol to Tune the Dimensionality and Magnetic Properties in Dy^III-Anilato-Based Single-Ion Magnets.

ABSTRACT: We exploit the high versatility of the solvent ethylene glycol (eg = CH₂OH-CH₂OH) acting as a ligand with three different coordination modes: terminal (κO), chelate (κ²O,O'), and bridge (1κO,2κO') to prepare a novel family of six different coordination polymers with Dy^III and three different anilato ligands (3,6-disubstituted-2,5-dihydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone dianion = C₆O₄X₂^2-, with X = H, Cl, and Br). With the X = H derivative (dhbq^2-), we have prepared [Dy₂(dhbq)₃(eg)₂(μ-eg)]·4eg·2H₂O (1), a 3D diamond-like network with a chelate and bridging eg molecules. With the X = Cl derivative (chloranilato), we have prepared
