Abstract
Two new heterometallic coordination polymers, [Na4Ln12(stp)8(OH)16(H2O)12]·10H2O [Ln = Dy (1) and Ho (2)], have been prepared from monosodium 2-sulfoterephthalate (NaH2stp), dysprosium acetate, or holmium acetate. They are isostructural, possessing a [Ln12(μ3-OH)16](20+) wheel-cluster core based on four vertex-sharing cubane-like [Ln4(μ3-OH)4](8+) units. The Ln12 cores are linked by stp ligands into a three-dimensional (3D) architecture. Magnetic studies indicate that complex 1 exhibits slow relaxation of magnetization, and it can be regarded as the first 3D coordination assembly of a Dy12 cluster single-molecule magnet.
