A unique example of a 3D framework based on the binuclear dysprosium(iii) azobenzene-3,5,4′-tricarboxylate with 3,6-connected topology showing ferromagnetic properties

Abstract

A novel three-dimensional non-interpenetrated nanoporous polymeric complex {[Dy(ABTA)]·2H2O}n, (H3ABTA = azobenzene-3,5,4′-tricarboxylic acid) with centro-symmetric six connected binuclear dysprosium as the building block has been designed from the rational synthetic approach and has been characterized and evaluated systematically.
