Abstract

Two new air-stable axial Dy(III) Single-Ion Magnets, [Dy(H2O)5(HMPA)2]Cl3·HMPA·H2O (1) and [Dy(H2O)5(HMPA)2]I3 ·2HMPA (2) (HMPA = hexamethylphosphoramide), exhibit magnetic hysteresis which remains open up to 9 K for 1@Y and 10 K for 2@Y, respectively. Ab initio calculations, using step-by-step elimination of fragments to generate a series of model complexes, reveal that the secondary coordination sphere plays a key role in controlling the magnetisation reversal barrier and predict that the removal of outer-sphere molecules and anions will enhance the barrier further.
