Slow magnetic relaxation and luminescence properties in neodymium(iii)-4,4,4-trifluoro-1-(2-naphthyl)butane-1,3-dionato complexes incorporating bipyridyl ligands

A new series of eight-coordinated Nd(iii) complexes derived from 4,4,4-trifluoro-1-(naphthalen-2-yl)butane-1,3-dionate and bi-pyridyl ligands revealed multifunctional molecular materials as photoluminescent single-molecule magnets (SMMs).
