Reaction between Schiff-base ligand and half-sandwich complex M(Pc)(acac) led to the isolation of new sandwich-type mixed (phthalocyaninato)(Schiff-base) di-lanthanide compounds M2(Pc)2(L)H2O (M = Dy, Gd) (1, 2) [H2Pc = metal free phthalocyanine, Hacac = acetylacetone, H2L = N,N'-bis(3-methyloxysalicylidene)benzene-1,2-diamine] with the triple-decker molecular structure clearly revealed by sing...

Dysprosium was analyzed using high-resolution high-energy x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (HAXPES). The HAXPES spectra of dysprosium obtained monochromatic Cr Kα radiation at 5414.8 eV include survey scan and Dy 3s, 3p3/2, 3d5/2, 4s, 4p3/2, 4d, 5p.

An experimental and ab initio computational study of an unsymmetrical, hydride-bridged di-dysprosium single-molecule magnet is reported.

Radio-frequency electric-dipole transitions between nearly degenerate, opposite parity levels of atomic dysprosium (Dy) were monitored over an eight-month period to search for a variation in the fine-structure constant, α. The data provide a rate of fractional temporal variation of α of (−2.7±2.6)×10 −15 yr −1 or a value of (−8.7 ± 6.6) × 10 −6 for kα, the variation coefficient for α in a chang...

We report the in situ formation of two novel metal-organic frameworks based on terbium and dysprosium ions using azobenzene-4,41-dicarboxylic acid (H2abd) as ligand, synthesized by soft hydrothermal routes. Both materials show isostructural three-dimensional networks with channels along a axis and display intense photoluminescence properties in the solid state at room temperature. Textural prop...

The growth of small tellurium clusters in helium and the influence of a metal impurity (dysprosium atoms) on the cluster size distribution are investigated in a double laser vaporization source. A model describing the role of the carrier gas as collision partner is presented, emphasizing the crucial influence of the gas pressure on cluster formation. Changes in cluster reactivity due to dyspros...

A simple trinuclear dysprosium complex shows complex slow relaxation of the magnetisation.

The title complex, [Dy(C(8)H(6)NO(4))(C(2)O(4))(H(2)O)](n), is a dysprosium coordination polymer with mixed anions and was obtained under hydrothermal conditions. In the structure, the oxalate and 5-amino-isophthalate ligands link the dysprosium ions, building up a two-dimensional metal-organic framework parallel to the (10) plane. These sheets are further connected through O-H⋯O, N-H⋯O and C-H...

The title dysprosium coordination polymer, {[Dy(2)(C(10)H(8)O(6))(3)(H(2)O)(2)]·2H(2)O}(n), was synthesized by reacting dysprosium(III) nitrate and the flexible ligand (p-phenyl-enedi-oxy)diacetic acid under hydro-thermal conditions. Each Dy(III) ion is coordinated by nine O atoms in a tricapped trigonal prismatic geometry. The DyO(9) polyhedra form layers parallel to the bc plane. The rigid be...
