Rational Design of Single-Ion Magnets and Spin Qubits Based on Mononuclear Lanthanoid Complexes
2012
Here we develop a general approach to calculating the energy spectrum and the wave functions of the low-lying magnetic levels of a lanthanoid ion submitted to the crystal field created by the surrounding ligands. This model allows us to propose general criteria for the rational design of new mononuclear lanthanoid complexes behaving as single-molecule magnets (SMMs) or acting as robust spin qubits. Three typical environments exhibited by these metal complexes are considered, namely, (a) square antiprism, (b) triangular dodecahedron, and (c) trigonal prism. The developed model is used to explain the properties of some representative examples showing these geometries. Key questions in this ar…
Field-induced single molecule magnet behavior of a dinuclear cobalt(II) complex: a combined experimental and theoretical study.
2020
Two dinuclear cobalt(ii) complexes, [(dmso)CoIIL1(μ-(m-NO2)C6H4COO)CoII(NCS)] (1) and [(dmso)CoIIL2(μ-(m-NO2)C6H4COO)CoII(NCS)] (2) [dmso = dimethylsulfoxide, H2L1 = (2,2-dimethyl-1,3-propanediyl)bis(iminomethylene)bis(6-methoxyphenol) and H2L2 = (2,2-dimethyl-1,3-propanediyl)bis(iminomethylene)bis(6-ethoxyphenol)] have been synthesized and structurally characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, magnetic-susceptibility measurements and various spectroscopic techniques. Each complex contains a cobalt(ii) center with a slightly distorted octahedral geometry and a second cobalt(ii) center with a distorted trigonal prismatic one. To obtain insight into the physical nature of weak non-co…
Cyanido-Bridged {LnIIIWV} Heterobinuclear Complexes: Synthesis and Magneto-Structural Study
2017
A new series of cyanido-bridged {LnIIIWV} heterobinuclear complexes of formula [LnIII(pyim)2(i-PrOH)(H2O)2(μ-CN)WV(CN)7]·2H2O [Ln = Gd (1), Tb (2), Dy (3), Ho (4), and Er (5); pyim = 2-(1H-imidazol-2-yl)-pyridine) and i-PrOH = isopropyl alcohol] were synthesized by one-pot reaction between (NH3Bu)3[W(CN)8] and [Ln(pyim)2]2+ complexes (generated in situ by mixing the corresponding LnIII ions and the pyim ligand). Compounds 1–5 are isomorphous and crystallize in the monoclinic system P21/n space group. Their crystal structure consists of binuclear units in which the octacyanotungstate(V) anion coordinates to the corresponding LnIII ion through a single cyanide ligand. The tungsten(V) and lant…

1991
Abstract The crystal structures of Nd2(CrO4)3 · 7H2O and Eu2(CrO4)3 · 7H2O were determined by the conventional single-crystal X-ray diffraction technique. In addition, unit cell dimensions were measured for La2 (CrO4)3 · 7H2O and Sm2(CrO4)3 · 7H2O. All these compounds are isostructural. Crystals are monoclinic, space group P2 1 c . For Nd2(CrO4)3 · 7H2O, a = 8.052(4) A, b = 19.143(4) A, c = 13.326(6) A, β = 128.15(4)°, Z = 4, Dx = 3.14 Mg · m−3, T = 296(1); and for Eu2(CrO4)3 · 7H2O, a = 7.965(3) A, b = 18.985(4) A, c = 13.185(4) A, β = 128.00(2)°, Z = 4, Dx = 3.29 Mg · m−3, T = 296(1). Ln atoms are nine-coordinated so that the coordination polyhedron is a tricapped trigonal prism for Ln1 a…
[Fe(phen)(CN)4]−: a suitable metalloligand unit to build 3d–4f heterobimetallic complexes with mixed bpym-cyano bridges (phen = 1,10-phenantroline, b…
2010
The synthesis, crystal structure and magnetic properties of a new series of mixed 3d–4f complexes with the formula [{FeIII(phen)(CN)3(μ-CN)}4Ln2III(NO3)2(H2O)6(μ-bpym)]·nH2O [Ln = Eu (1), Gd (2), Dy (3) and Ho (4); n = 8 (1, 3 and 4) and 11 (2); phen = 1,10-phenantroline; bpym = 2,2′-bipyrimidine] are discussed here. Compounds 1–4 are centrosymmetric hexanuclear species whose structure is made up of two cyano-bridged {Fe2IIILnIII} heterobimetallic moieties which are connected through a bis-bidentate bpym molecule between the two rare-earth centers. The values of the iron–lanthanide distance across the single cyano-bridge are Fe(1)⋯Eu(1) = 5.5587(8) and Fe(2)⋯Eu(1) = 5.4908(8) A (1), Fe(1)⋯G…

Slow relaxation in doped coordination polymers and dimers based on lanthanoids and anilato ligands
2019
Abstract In this work we report the synthesis, structure and magnetic properties of two lanthanoid based coordination polymers (CP) and two dimers prepared with two derivatives of the 2,5-dihydroxy-1,4-benzoquinone (C6O4X2)2− as ligands. Using the bromanilato ligand: (C6O4Br2)2− we have prepared the CP [Eu1.96Dy0.04(C6O4Br2)3(DMSO)6]·2DMSO (1) (DMSO = dimethylsulfoxide) and with the chlorocyananilato ligand: (C6O4(CN)Cl)2−) we have prepared one CP formulated as [Eu1.96Dy0.04(C6O4(CN)Cl)3(DMSO)6] (2) and two isostructural dimers: [Eu1.96Dy0.04(C6O4(CN)Cl)3(H2O)10]·6H2O (3) and [Eu2(C6O4(CN)Cl)3(H2O)10]·6H2O (4). Compounds 1, 2 and 3 are Eu(III) compounds doped with 2.0 % of Dy(III), whereas …
Electron-Sponge Behavior and Electronic Structures in Cobalt-Centered Pentagonal Prismatic Co11Te7(CO)10 and Co11Te5(CO)15 Cluster Anions
2006
The novel cluster anion [Co11Te5(CO)15]- ([3]-) has been isolated and structurally characterized as part of the salt [Cp*2Nb(CO)2][3] (Cp* = C5Me5). The cobalt-centered Co10 pentagonal prism is surrounded by a shell of two μ5-Te, three μ4-Te ligands, and 15 CO groups in terminal, symmetrical, and σ-semibridging bonding modes. The hybrid carbonyl-telluride character of the ligand shell is reflected in the solid state by a one-dimensional assembly of polyhedral prisms along a backbone of [Cp*2Nb(CO)2]+ cations. Electrochemical studies reveal the presence of four redox couples of [3]n (n = −1 to −5). The electronic structures of various metal-centered and empty pentagonal-prismatic (PP) M10 cl…
Prismatic adaptation effects on spatial representation of time in neglect patients
2011
Abstract Processing of temporal information may require the use of spatial attention to represent time along a mental time line. We used prismatic adaptation (PA) to explore the contribution of spatial attention to the spatial representation of time in right brain damaged patients with and without neglect of left space and in age-matched healthy controls. Right brain damaged patients presented time underestimation deficits, that were significantly greater in patients with neglect than in patients without neglect. PA inducing leftward attentional deviation reduced time underestimation deficit in patients with neglect. The results support the hypothesis that a right hemispheric network has a …
Prism adaptation power on spatial cognition: Adaptation to different optical deviations in healthy individuals
2015
The main objective of the present study was to determine the minimal optical deviation responsible for cognitive after-effects in healthy individuals and to explore whether there was a relationship between the degree of optical deviation and cognitive after-effects. Therefore different leftward optical deviations (8°, 10° and 15°) were used in three different groups of healthy participants. Sensorimotor after-effects (evaluating the visuo-manual realignment) were assessed using an open-loop pointing task and cognitive after-effects (evaluating changes in spatial representation) were assessed using manual and perceptual (landmark) line bisection tasks. Results revealed that exposure to 8°, 1…
