A Dy6 Cluster Displays Slow Magnetic Relaxation with an Edge‐to‐Edge Arrangement of Two Dy3 Triangles

Abstract A new dysprosium(III) cluster, namely [Dy 6 III ( L ) 4 (μ 3 ‐OH) 4 (CH 3 OH) 2 (NO 3 ) 2 ] · 6CH 3 CN ( 1 ), has been synthesized from the Schiff base ligand 1,3‐bis(salicylideneamino)‐2‐propanol and dysprosium nitrate. A single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction study reveals that the core of 1 consists of an edge‐to‐edge arrangement of two Dy 3 triangles. Both static (dc) and dynamic (ac) magnetic properties of 1 have been studied. The results show that slow magnetic relaxation is operating in compound 1 .
