Tetranuclear Lanthanide(III) Complexes with a Zigzag Topology from the Use of Pyridine-2,6-dimethanol: Synthetic, Structural, Spectroscopic, Magnetic and Photoluminescence Studies
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Reaction between Ln(NO3)3·xH2O (x = 5 or 6) and the potentially tridentate (N,O,O) chelating/bridging ligand pyridine-2,6-dimethanol (pdmH2), in the presence of base NEt3, affords a family of isostructural tetranuclear [Ln(III)4(NO3)2(pdmH)6(pdmH2)2](NO3)4 (Ln(III) = Eu(III), Gd(III), Tb(III), Dy(III), Ho(III), Er(III), Yb(III)) complexes with a rare zigzag topology. All complexes contain a [Ln4(μ-OR)6](6+) core with bridging ligation provided by the alkoxido arms of six η(1):η(1):η(2):μ pdmH(-) groups. The Ln(III) ions are eight coordinate with distorted geometries. Direct current magnetic susceptibility studies revealed predominant weak antiferromagnetic exchange interactions between the metal centers, which were quantified in the case of isotropic Gd(III)4 to give J = -0.09(1) cm(-1) and g = 2.00(1). The observation of out-of-phase (χ″M) ac susceptibility signals suggested that the Dy(III)4 analogue might be a molecular nanomagnet. Solid-state photoluminescence studies showed that the Eu(III)4 and Tb(III)4 compounds exhibit intense, sharp, and narrow emission bands in the red and green visible regions, respectively, which arise from the characteristic (5)D0 → (7)FJ and (5)D4 → (7)FJ transitions. The combined results demonstrate the ability of pdmH2 ligand to yield homometallic 4f clusters with interesting magnetic and optical properties.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
