The plasticity of the coordination chemistry of Lanthanoid ions (LnIII) has allow the design of novel coordination compounds with slow relaxation of the magnetization since the first Single Ion Magnet (SIMs) was reported by Ishikawa, who used the phthalocyaninate ligand to make a “sandwich type” complex. The coordination chemistry has allowed the possibility to design different types of molecular complexes with SIMs behaviour based on organic ligands. There is also SIMs based on inorganic ligands, using different types of lacunary polyoxometalates (LPOM) like, [XW11O39]n−. The combination of both types of ligands can produce hybrid inorganic‐organic LnIII complexes with SIM behaviour. This is an attractive approach since these hybrid materials could benefit from the combination of the ease of functionalization of the organic ligands with the robustness of the inorganic moieties. There are reports that a hybrid mononuclear DyIII complex could improve the relaxation dynamics when it is compared to the inorganic analogues. Thus, in this review we present a study and comparison on the improvement that inorganic and organic ligands can cause to the geometry of the metal centres of fully inorganic and hybrid (mononuclear and dinuclear) lanthanoid complexes (for DyIII, ErIII and YbIII). Moreover, we will discuss which of these changes can modify the magnetic properties of the Lanthanoid Complexes.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
