Planar Benzene Trianion-Bridged Dilanthanide Complexes Exhibiting Strong Ferromagnetic Exchange via Metal–Radical Covalency
The synthesis of molecules exhibiting strong magnetic exchange coupling between contracted lanthanide 4f electrons and a radical spin presents an important challenge relevant to the design of single-molecule magnets and solid-state magnetic materials. Concurrently, the isolation of a planar benzene trianion radical r...
