The project is devoted to creation and investigation of new bi-functional magnetoluminescent dysprosium cooordination compounds. Considering that the choice of
ligands plays a crucial role in the design of Dy(III)-complexes with bright luminescence
and SMMs behavior it is proposed to use carbacylamidophosphates (CAPhs, heterosubstituted analogs of -diketones) as ligands for obtaining such complexes. The choice
of CAPh ligands is based on their good sensitizing properties toward Dy3+ ion as well as
posibility to provide suitable ligand field for the occurrence of Dy3+ SMM behavior.
A number of Dy3+ coordination compounds of different types will be synthesized using
developed by UA team methods of synthesis. Then the compounds will be obtained in
form of single crystals, which will be investigated by means of X-ray analysis. This part of
work can be done by Ukrainian team in Ukraine. Investigations of luminescent and
magnetic properties of the obtained compounds are planned to be performed with help
of our European partner. This research will also include theoretical analysis based on
crystal field calculation and the superposition model (SPM) as well as calculations of
intramolecular energy transfer rates in coordination compounds with sensitized
emission.
