Quantum chemical calculations of single-molecule magnets based on mononuclear complexes of lanthanides with pyrazine-2-carboxylate and acetylacetonate
摘要
Quantum chemical calculations performed reproduce well the experimental data on the temperature dependence of the magnetic susceptibility of mononuclear complexes [Ln(PyrCOO)(acac)2(H2O)2] (Ln = Dy, Er, Yb, Eu, Gd, Tb, Ho, Tm; PyrCOOH is pyrazine-2-carboxylic acid) in a DC magnetic field. The calculated signs of zero-field splitting energy, which are negative for all the complexes studied, make it possible to consider the complexes as single-molecule magnets.
