Abstract

A new 1D Dy3+ complex based on β-diketone, namely, [Dy(L)3(H2O)]·0.5CH3OH·0.5H2O (1) (HL = 1-phenyl-3-(4′-pyridyl-N-oxide)-propane-1,3-dione) has been designed and synthesized by the combination of β-diketone and pyridine-N-oxide group. The magnetic study indicates the compound's slow magnetic relaxation originating from the single-ion behavior of Dy3+ with strong anisotropy, which is further supported by theoretical calculations.
