Front Cover: Experimental and Theoretical Study of the Ultrafast Dynamics of a Ni₂Dy₂‐Compound in DMF After UV/Vis Photoexcitation (ChemistryOpen 5/2022)

Abstract

The Front Cover shows the Dy2Ni2‐molecular magnet being excited with a UV/Vis laser pulse, together with its time‐resolved spectrum after the pulse. The comparison of the theoretical and the experimental spectra together with both the observed and the calculated relaxation times provides evidence on: the intermediate states participating in the laser‐induced dynamics, the partial metal‐to‐oxygen charge‐transfer excitations, and the order of magnitude of the coupling of the molecular magnet to the thermal bath of the environment.
