A one-dimensional dysprosium(iii)-carboxylate chain in which the Dy(III) ions sit in a pseudo D(2d)-symmetry environment is synthesized and shows different slow magnetic relaxation behaviours depending on the field and dilution effects. Besides, the chiral ligand introduces the additional functions of the Cotton effect and polarization for this compound.

Hexamethyl-phospho-ramide (hmp), tetra-thio-molybdate, silver sulfide and dysprosium nitrate were self-assembled to form an anionic [AgMoS(4)](n) (n-) chain in the title complex, {[Dy(NO(3))(2)(C(6)H(18)N(3)OP)(4)][AgMoS(4)]}(n). The central Dy atom in the cation is coordinated by eight O atoms from two nitrate and four hmp ligands, resulting in a distorted square-anti-prismatic environment. To...

23Na NMR studies of large unilamellar vesicles of egg lecithin in salt solutions are reported. A shift reagent, the dysprosium nitrilotriacetate ion Dy[N(CH2CO2)3]3-2 has been used to distinguish between 23Na+ inside and outside the vesicles. When both are present and the shift reagent is present on only one side, two clearly distinct resonances are observed. Creation of a Na+ concentration gra...

The nature of the interaction between ultracold atoms with a large orbital and spin angular momentum has attracted considerable attention. It was suggested that such interactions can lead to the realization of exotic states of highly correlated matter. Here, we report on a theoretical study of the competing anisotropic dispersion, magnetic dipole-dipole, and electric quadrupole-quadrupole force...

The reduction of titanocene dichloride with dysprosium yields a new titanocene(ii) equivalent without the need for further stabilising ligands. This reagent can be employed in combination with dithioacetals for the olefination of different carbonyl groups and allows for a simplified all-in-one procedure.

A Dy6 complex composed of two Dy3 triangular units, [Dy6(μ3-OH)(CO3)3(bsc)3(MeOH)14(H2O)](Cl)5·(H2O)·(MeOH)2 (1), was isolated and found to exhibit slow relaxation of the magnetisation under zero applied dc field, resulting in a high energetic barrier to relaxation.

High axiality in double unsupported phenoxide-bridged DyIII and HoIII complexes promotes slow relaxation of magnetisation high Ueff the dysprosium derivative.

Single crystals of lithium dysprosium polyphosphate, LiDy(PO(3))(4), were prepared by the flux method. The atomic arrangement is built up by infinite (PO(3))(n) chains extending along the b axis. Dy(3+) and Li(+) cations alternate in the middle of four such chains, with Dy⋯Li distances of 3.54 (1) and 3.48 (1) Å. The DyO(8) dodeca-hedra and LiO(4) tetra-hedra deviate significantly from the idea...
