A highly efficient “metalloligand” strategy for the synthesis of ternary Ln–Ru–W hybrids.

A series of novel ternary Ln–Ru–W hybrids constructed by metalloligands ([RuII(bpy)2(4,4′-dcbpy)](PF6)2, m-H2LRu) and high-nuclear lanthanide clusters have been successfully synthesized using an efficient “metalloligand” strategy for the first time. Slow magnetic relaxation has been observed within the Dy-based hybrid. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
