A highly conducting tetrathiafulvalene-tetracarboxylate based dysprosium(iii) 2D metal-organic framework with single molecule magnet behaviour.

ABSTRACT: The synthesis and whole characterization by a multitechnique approach of an unprecedented dysprosium(iii) 2D metal organic framework (MOF), involving the redox-active tetrathiafulvalene (TTF)-based linker TTF-tetracarboxylate (TTF-TC), are herein reported. The single-crystal X-ray structure, formulated as [Dy₆(TTF-TC)₅(H₂O)₂₂]·21H₂O (1), reveals a complex 2D topology, with hexanuclear Dy₆ clusters as secondary building units (SBUs) interconnected by five linkers, stacked almost parallel in each layer and eclipsed along the [111] direction, leading to the formation of 1D channels filled by water molecules. The mixed valence of the TTF units is confirmed by both bond distance analysis, Raman microscopy and diffuse reflectance
