Abstract

An assemblage of a Tb(III) ion and two mononuclear [Zn(II)(L)] complexes as antenna chromophores (H(2)L: Schiff base ligand) afforded a luminescent single-molecule magnet. The f-f emission spectrum had partially resolved fine structure which provides detailed information on the magnetic anisotropy of the (7)F(6) ground multiplet of the Tb(III) ion.
