SHG-active NIR-emissive molecular nanomagnets generated in layered neodymium(iii)–octacyanidometallate(iv) frameworks

Nd 3+ ions incorporated into hybrid layers built of [M(CN) 8 ] 4− (M = Mo IV or W IV ) and pyrazine N , N ′-dioxide linkers form enantiomorphic materials exhibiting tunable NIR luminescence, SHG activity, and slow magnetic relaxation.
