Low-Coordinate Erbium(III) Single-Molecule Magnets with Photochromic Behavior.

ABSTRACT: The structures and magnetic properties of photoresponsive magnets can be controlled or fine-tuned by visible light irradiation, which makes them appealing as candidates for ternary memory devices: photochromic and photomagnetic at the same time. One of the strategies for photoresponsive magnetic systems is the use of photochromic/photoswitchable molecules coordinated to paramagnetic metal centers to indirectly influence their magnetic properties. Herein, we present two erbium(III)-based coordination systems: a trinuclear molecule {[Er^III(BHT)₃]₃(dtepy)₂}^.4C₅H₁₂ (1) and a 1D coordination chain {[Er^III(BHT)₃(azopy)}_n·2C₅H₁₂ (2), where the br
