Magnetic anisotropy and spin-parity effect along the series of lanthanide complexes with DOTA
Abstract
Spotting trends: Upon going from Tb(III) to Yb(III) centers in the complexes of the DOTA(4-) ligand, a reorientation of the easy axis of magnetization from perpendicular to parallel to the Ln-O bond of the apical water molecule is experimentally observed and theoretically predicted (SMM=single-molecule magnet). Only ions with an odd number of electrons show slow relaxation of the magnetization.
