Lanthanide network magnetic complexes composed of conjugated polydentate ligands and magnetic complexes with a macro cyclic structure

镧系配合物作为一种可设计的磁性、发光材料和催化剂而受到人们的关注。然而，作为磁性材料的应用受到限制，因为几乎所有的镧系配合物都是顺磁体。在这项研究中，我们成功地合成了具有铁磁性的三维网状镧系配合物。据我们所知，这是第一个单金属镧系配合物显示铁磁相变的例子。

Lanthanide complexes have attracted attention as designable magnetic, luminescent materials, and catalysts. However, the applications as magnetic materials are limited because almost all of lanthanide complexes are paramagnets. In this study, we succeeded in the synthesis of three dimensional network lanthanide complex showing ferromagnetism. To our knowledge, this is the first example that a monometallic lanthanide complex shows a ferromagnetic phase transition.
