Exploiting single-molecule magnets of β-diketone dysprosium complexes with C_3v symmetry: suppression of quantum tunneling of magnetization

Abstract

A series of four unique seven-coordinated β-diketone mononuclear dysprosium complexes with <italic>C</italic>_3v geometry exhibit SMM properties suppressing the QTM, which was tuned by the distortion of coordination symmetry around the Dy(<sc>iii</sc>) ion.
