Field and dilution effects on the magnetic relaxation behaviours of a 1D dysprosium(III)-carboxylate chain built from chiral ligands

A one-dimensional dysprosium(III)-carboxylate chain in which the Dy-III ions sit in a pseudo D-2d-symmetry environment is synthesized and shows different slow magnetic relaxation behaviours depending on the field and dilution effects. Besides, the chiral ligand introduces the additional functions of the Cotton effect and polarization for this compound.
