A new insight into the unique magneto-optical effect of layered perovskite(C_(6)H_(5)C_(2)H_(3)FNH_(3))_(2)MnCl_(4)

Magnet-optical materials embracing coupled magnetic and photoluminescent properties in single phase are promising in microelectronics and optoelectronic devices.However,the current research mainly focuses on traditional inorganic materials,and there are few reports on molecule materials.Recently,we synthesized an organic–inorganic hybrid complex((C_(6)H_(5)C_(2)H_(3)FNH_(3))_(2)MnCl_(4)(1)with perovskite structure.Physical measurements show that 1 not only behaves as an antiferromagnet with spin canting but also exhibits unusual fluorescent properties.Importantly,under the magnetic field at different temperatures,the luminous intensity of 1 changed,and a red-shift occurred with obviously optical hysteresis.These phenomena directly prove the existence of magneto-optical coupling in 1.More interestingly,the optical hysteresis can be observed in both low and high field,which is unprecedented in other molecular materials.Even in traditional inorganic materials,it can only be observed in strong field.This special function provides the possibility for the application of low energy consumption optoelectronic devices.

Luminescent single-molecule magnet of metallofullerene DyErScN@Ih-C80

Magneto-luminescent molecules have significant applications in data storage and quantum computing.However,design of these bi-functional molecules coupled with magnetic behavior and photoluminescence is still challenging.In this work,we report a metallofullerene DyErScN @In-C80 exhibiting single-molecule magnet (SMM) behavior and near-infrared emission.For DyErScN @Ih-C80,two functional lanthanide metal ions of Dy^3+(SMM function) and Er^3+(luminescent function) are integrated inside a fullerene cage using a trimetallic nitride template,and its structure has been unambiguously characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction.Magnetic measurements revealed that DyErScN @Ih-C80 behaves as a SMM with a blocking temperature up to 9 K resulting from the intramolecular magnetic interaction between Dy^3+ and Er^3+ ions.Moreover,DyErScN @In-C80 exhibits temperature-dependent near-infrared emission around 1.5 pm with multiple splitting peaks from Er^3+,which arises from the influence of Dy^3+ ion.This study provides a new strategy to synthesize new magneto-luminescent molecule materials.
