单分子磁体是分子磁性材料领域二十多年来最重大的发现之一，在高密度信息存储和量子计算等方面有重要的应用价值。目前，稀土单分子磁体已在有效能垒和阻塞温度两个热点方向取得不错进展，但仍面临着重要挑战，包括：（1）大部分高性能稀土单分子磁体的功能相对单一，如何进一步丰富此类分子磁体的功能性；（2）在现有方法基础上，如何开拓构建高性能稀土单分子磁体的新路径。根据前期发光配合物的研究基础和近期单分子磁体的科研成果，申请人拟提出利用Au(I)/Ag(I)发色团或Pd(II)/Pt(II)分子笼构建高性能稀土单分子磁体的策略，一方面，利用Au(I)/Ag(I)金属有机发色团作为能量给体高效地敏化稀土离子发光，丰富稀土单分子磁体的光功能；另一方面，以Pd(II)/Pt(II)分子笼作为“分子反应器”构建低配位稀土单分子磁体以及改善高性能稀土单分子磁体，为分子磁性材料的设计和制备提供新思路。

Single-molecule magnets (SMMs) have been regarded as one of the important discoveries of molecule-based magnetic materials in past twenty years due to their potential applications in the areas of high-density storage and quantum computation. Nowadays, it is worth saying that lanthanide SMMs have succeeded in giving high values of both reversal energy and blocking temperature. However, there are still some challenges to face for lanthanide SMMs, including (1) how to make them multifunctional, and (2) how to break a new path to improve their properties. In order to obtain high-performance lanthanide SMMs, we proposed a strategy on the basis of our previous studies and recent results, that is construction of lanthanide SMMs with Au(I)/Ag(I) chromophores and/or Pd(II)/Pt(II) cages. On the one hand, Au(I)/Ag(I) organometallic chromophores can sensitize lanthanide ions as the energy donates to give multiple luminescent centers. On the other hand, Pd(II)/Pt(II) cages serve as molecular reactors for building and decorating high-performance lanthanide SMMs. In this regard, it will be an effective way to design and prepare molecule-based magnetic materials.
