Highly reducible polyoxometalate-Dy(iii) SMM hybrid materials with exceptional charge stability.

ABSTRACT: Lanthanide single-molecule magnets (SMMs) continue to draw attention as potential building blocks for ultra-dense data storage devices due to their bistable magnetic ground states and pronounced magnetic anisotropy. To realise this potential, however, a deeper understanding of how molecular magnetic memory responds to structural and environmental perturbations is critical. One essential criterion is the retention of magnetic bistability in the presence of nearby charge or charge fluctuations. Air-stable Dy(iii) SMMs with pseudo-D _5h symmetry are known to exhibit extremely slow magnetic relaxation, attributed to a strong axial crystal field and symmetry-imposed suppression of quantum tunnelling of magnetisation (QTM). Here we report a new high-performance, hybrid compound,
