Sublimable chloroquinolinate lanthanoid single-ion magnets deposited on ferromagnetic electrodes.

ABSTRACT: A new family of chloroquinolinate lanthanoid complexes of the formula A⁺[Ln(5,7Cl₂q)₄]^-, with Ln = Y³⁺, Tb³⁺ and Dy³⁺ and A⁺ = Na⁺, NEt₄⁺ and K_0.5(NEt₄)_0.5⁺, is studied, both in bulk and as thin films. Several members of the family are found to present single-molecule magnetic behavior in bulk. Interestingly, the sodium salts can be sublimed under high vacuum conditions retaining their molecular structures and magnetic properties. These thermally stable compounds have been deposited on different substrates (Al₂O₃, Au and NiFe). The magnetic properties of these molecular films show the appearance of cusps i
