Abstract

One-dimensional zig-zag chain and two-dimensional network dysprosium(iii) single-molecule toroics with anisotropy barriers of about 5 and 31 cm-1 under a zero dc field are reported. These are the first one- and two- dimensional homometallic single-molecule toroics reported to date. Furthermore, the two complexes also display white-light emission under UV-light irradiation.
