    Abstract:
    A new family of [2 × 2] tetranuclear 3d-4f heterometallic complexes have been synthesized. These are [Zn(2)Dy(2)L(2)(μ(3)-OH)(2)(μ(4)-OH)(dbm)(2)(MeOH)(2)](NO(3))·2H(2)O·MeOH (3), [Ni(2)Dy(2)L(2)(μ(3)-OH)(2)(μ(4)-OH)(dbm)(2)(MeOH)(2)](NO(3))·MeOH (4), [Ni(2)La(2)L(2)(μ(3)-OH)(2)(μ(4)-OH)(dbm)(2)(MeOH)(2)](ClO(4))·H(2)O·2MeOH (5), [Ni(2)Tb(2)L(2)(μ(3)-OH)(2)(μ(4)-OH)(dbm)(2) (MeOH)(2)](NO(3))·MeOH (6), and [Ni(2)Gd(2)L(2)(μ(3)-OH)(2)(μ(4)-OH)(dbm)(2)(MeOH)(2)](NO(3))·MeOH (7), [H(2)L = N,N'-dimethyl-N,N'-bis(2-hydroxy-3,5-dimethylbenzyl)ethylenediamine and Hdbm = dibenzoylmethane] obtained through a single-pot synthesis using [Zn(HL)(dbm)] (for 3)/[Ni(HL)(dbm)]·2CH(3)OH (for 4, 5, 6, and 7) as 3d-metal ion precursors. Single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis and electrospray ionization (ESI) mass spectroscopy have been used to establish their identities. Compounds are isostructural, in which the metal ions are all connected together by a bridging hydroxido ligand in a rare μ(4)-mode. In complexes 3-7, the metal ions are antiferromagnetically coupled. Taking a cue from the results of 3 and 5, precise estimations have been made for the antiferromagnetic Ni···Ni (J(Ni) = -50 cm(-1)), Ni···Gd (J(NiGd) = -4.65 cm(-1)), and Gd···Gd (J(Gd) = -0.02 cm(-1)) exchange interactions in 7, involving the gadolinium(III) ions. The Zn(II)(2)Dy(III)(2) compound 3 has shown the tail of an out-of-phase signal in alternating current (AC) susceptibility measurement, indicative of slow relaxation of magnetization. Interestingly, the Ni(II)(2)Dy(III)(2) compound 4 in which both the participating metal ions possess large single ion anisotropy, has failed to show up any slow magnetic relaxation.
