Strasbourg, 23 rue du Loess, BP 43, F-67034 Strasbourg Cedex 2, France 10.3762/bjnano.7.15 Abstract A series of 2,2’-bipyrimidine-bridged dinuclear lanthanide complexes with the general formula [Ln(tmhd)3]2bpm (tmhd = 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-heptanedionate, bpm = 2,2’-bipyrimidine, Ln = Gd(III), 1; Tb(III
with the presence of hysteresis loops.
Keywords: bipyrimidine; diketone; hysteresis; lanthanide; magnetism; Introduction
The application of magnetic molecular compounds within molecular electronic devices is combined in the progressive field of spintronics. An anisotropic spin is confined by the
ligand that provides a communication pathway between the lanthanide ions. The 2,2’-bipyrimidine (bpm) ligand has been selected for many transition metal complexes to bridge metal ions and it acts as a connector to influence emission and magnetic properties [18][19][20][21]. An adsorption-site-dependent
