Giant coercivity and high magnetic blocking temperatures for N2 3− radical-bridged dilanthanide complexes upon ligand dissociation

Abstract

Single-molecule magnets typically only retain information in the presence of an applied magnetic field and at very low temperatures. Here, Demir, Long and co-workers design N2 3– radical-bridged dilanthanide complexes that exhibit giant coercivities and 100-s magnetic blocking temperatures of up to 20 K.
