Slow magnetic relaxation in radical cation tetrathiafulvalene-based lanthanide(iii) dinuclear complexes

Lanthanide dinuclear complexes involving tetrathiafulvalene-based ligands in their radical cation form were synthesised and crystallised by a galvanostatic procedure. Dynamic magnetic measurements reveal an unprecedented slow magnetic relaxation for the Dy(III) analogue in this kind of molecular edifice.
