Inducing magnetic coupling between 4f elements is an ongoing challenge. To overcome this formidable difficulty, we incorporate highly delocalized tetrazinyl radicals, which strongly couple with f-block metallocenes to form discrete tetranuclear complexes. Synthesis, structure, and properties of two [(Cp*2 Ln)4 (tz. )4 ]⋅3(C6 H6 ) (Cp*=pentamethylcyclopentadienyl; tz=1,2,4,5-tetrazine; Ln=Dy, Gd) complexes are reported. An in-depth examination their through susceptibility measurements as well...

Monoatomic metal wires (MAMW) possess unique physical properties and exciting potential applications. In particular, Ni MAMW has been predicted to be ferromagnetic. However, the inherent instability of due Peierls distortion phenomenon renders its fabrication isolation extremely difficult. Here we fabricate monatomic through columnar self-assembly tribenzocyclyne (TBC) derivatives. Three types MAMWs have constructed: I, II III with average Ni–Ni distances 0.480, 0.342, 0.336 nm, which were...
