Magnetic hysteresis in 1D organometallic lanthanide chain compounds containing 4,4'-bipyridine.

ABSTRACT: The assembly of multinuclear complexes bearing highly anisotropic building blocks remains an attractive approach to developing advanced functional materials. However, incorporating lanthanide-based metallocenium moieties, [Cp^R ₂Ln]⁺, into higher-order systems remains a significant synthetic challenge and their targeted isolation is exceedingly rare. Presented herein are organometallic lanthanide chain compounds bearing bridging 4,4'-bipyridine ligands, (where Ln = Gd (1), Tb (2), Dy (3); Cp* = pentamethylcyclopentadienyl; bpy = 4,4'-bipyridine). This constitutes the first report of a crystallographically characterised 1D organometallic network of lanthanide metallocenium units connected to one another through organic bridges. Each metallocenium moiety is li
