Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of single-molecule magnet preparation, and in particular to a method for preparing a high-symmetry dysprosium-based single-molecule magnet. Background Art

[0002] The research on single-molecule magnets began in the late 1980s, when scientists discovered that some transition metal complexes and rare earth metal complexes with specific structures exhibited hysteresis phenomena similar to macroscopic magnets at low temperatures, thus opening up the research field of single-molecule magnets.

[0003] The magnetism of single-molecule magnets stems primarily from the unpaired electrons of the central metal ion and the interaction between the ligands and the metal ion. At low temperatures, the spins of these unpaired electrons can maintain their orientation to a certain extent, giving the individual molecules a magnetic moment and exhibiting magnetism.

[0004] With the cross-disciplinary development of synthetic chemistry, materials science, physical chemistry and other disciplines, more and more single-molecule magnets with different structures and properties have been synthesized and studied, their magnetic properties have been continuously improved, and their application fields have been continuously expanded.

[0005] In terms of quantum information storage, single-molecule magnets are expected to become ideal materials for high-density information storage due to their nanoscale size and unique magnetic properties; in the field of quantum computing, the spin states of single-molecule magnets can be used as candidates for quantum bits to realize the processing and transmission of quantum information; in spin electronics, single-molecule magnets can be used to develop new spin electronic devices, such as spin valves, magnetic sensors, etc.

[0006] However, the magnetic anisotropy of existing single-molecule magnets is not strong enough, which makes them easily disturbed by external magnetic fields in practical applications. The magnetic state is not stable enough, affecting the accuracy of information storage and the reliability of quantum computing. At the same time, their short magnetic relaxation time makes it difficult to meet the long-term stability requirements for information storage and processing in practical applications. Moreover, the existing synthesis methods have harsh conditions and high preparation costs.

[0007] Therefore, it is necessary to design a preparation method for highly symmetric dysprosium-based single-molecule magnets to solve the problems of weak magnetic anisotropy, short magnetic relaxation time and harsh synthesis conditions of existing single-molecule magnets. Summary of the Invention

[0008] In view of this, the present invention proposes a method for preparing a highly symmetric dysprosium-based single-molecule magnet, aiming to solve the problems of weak magnetic anisotropy, short magnetic relaxation time and harsh synthesis conditions of existing single-molecule magnets.

[0010] Dysprosium nitrate hexahydrate, 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid, 4,4'-bipyridine, N,N-dimethylformamide and methanol are pretreated and then used;

[0011] 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid and 4,4'-bipyridine are respectively added to N,N-dimethylformamide and stirred until completely dissolved to obtain a first ligand solution and a second ligand solution; dysprosium nitrate hexahydrate is added to methanol and stirred until completely dissolved to obtain a metal salt solution;

[0012] The first ligand solution and the second ligand solution are first mixed to obtain a mixed ligand solution, and then the metal salt solution is dropwise added to the mixed ligand solution for second mixing to obtain a first mixed solution, and an alkaline regulator is added to the first mixed solution to adjust the pH value to between 6 and 8;

[0013] The first mixed solution is subjected to a hydrothermal reaction, and after the reaction is completed, the product is post-treated to obtain the high-symmetry dysprosium-based single-molecule magnet.

[0014] Furthermore, the preprocessing is specifically as follows:

[0015] The dysprosium nitrate hexahydrate was vacuum dried at 60° C. for 12 hours; the 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid was added to anhydrous ethanol and recrystallized twice; the 4,4'-bipyridine was added to toluene and refluxed for purification, and then distilled under reduced pressure; the N,N-dimethylformamide and methanol were dried for 24 hours.

[0016] Furthermore, the concentrations of the first ligand solution and the second ligand solution are 0.1-0.5 mol / L; and the concentration of the metal salt solution is 0.2-0.6 mol / L.

[0017] Furthermore, the first mixing is specifically: stirring and mixing the first ligand solution and the second ligand solution at a speed of 200-300 rpm for 1-2 hours.

[0018] Furthermore, the second mixing step specifically comprises: adding the metal salt solution dropwise to the mixed ligand solution at a rate of 0.5-1 drop / second under a stirring speed of 300-400 rpm.

[0020] Furthermore, the hydrothermal reaction is specifically as follows: the temperature is raised to 135° C. at a heating rate of 2-3° C. / min, maintained for 80 hours, and then cooled to room temperature at a cooling rate of 1-2° C. / min.

[0021] Furthermore, the alkaline regulator is sodium hydroxide or triethylamine.

[0022] Furthermore, the post-treatment is specifically as follows: filtering out the solid product with a microporous filter membrane with a pore size of 0.22 μm, washing the solid product alternately with methanol and deionized water for 5 times, soaking for 30 minutes each time, and vacuum drying the washed solid product at 55° C. for 18 hours.

[0023] Furthermore, the stirring speed of the first stirring is 200-300 rpm.

[0024] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects:

[0025] 1. The present invention selects 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid and 4,4'-bipyridine as ligands. 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid has a symmetrical benzene ring structure and three carboxyl functional groups, and can form a symmetrical coordination structure with metal ions. 4,4'-bipyridine is used as a bridging ligand, and its linear symmetrical structure can further construct a symmetrical coordination environment around the metal ions, greatly improving the overall symmetry of the dysprosium-based single-molecule magnet.

[0029] Exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present disclosure and to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art. It should be noted that, unless there is a conflict, the embodiments of the present disclosure and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other. The present invention will be described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with the embodiments.

[0030] The present invention selects 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid and 4,4'-bipyridine as ligands. 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid has a symmetrical benzene ring structure and three carboxyl functional groups, which helps to form a symmetrical coordination structure with metal ions. 4,4'-bipyridine is used as a bridging ligand, and its linear symmetrical structure can further construct a symmetrical coordination environment around the metal ions, greatly improving the overall symmetry of the dysprosium-based single-molecule magnet. The highly symmetrical structure greatly enhances the magnetic anisotropy and stability of the dysprosium-based single-molecule magnet of the present invention.

[0031] In some embodiments of the present invention, a method for preparing a high-symmetry dysprosium-based single-molecule magnet comprises the following steps:

[0032] Dysprosium nitrate hexahydrate, 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid, 4,4'-bipyridine, N,N-dimethylformamide and methanol are pretreated and then used;

[0033] 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid and 4,4'-bipyridine are respectively added to N,N-dimethylformamide and stirred until completely dissolved to obtain a first ligand solution and a second ligand solution; dysprosium nitrate hexahydrate is added to methanol and stirred until completely dissolved to obtain a metal salt solution;

[0034] The first ligand solution and the second ligand solution are first mixed to obtain a mixed ligand solution, and then the metal salt solution is dropwise added to the mixed ligand solution for second mixing to obtain a first mixed solution, and an alkaline regulator is added to the first mixed solution to adjust the pH value to between 6 and 8;

[0035] The first mixed solution is subjected to a hydrothermal reaction, and after the reaction is completed, the product is post-treated to obtain the high-symmetry dysprosium-based single-molecule magnet.

[0036] Specifically, the purity of the dysprosium nitrate hexahydrate, 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid and 4,4'-bipyridine is ≥99.9%.

[0037] Specifically, when performing the hydrothermal reaction, the first mixed solution is first transferred to a stainless steel reactor with a polytetrafluoroethylene lining, the filling degree of which is precisely controlled at 70%, and then placed in an oven for the hydrothermal reaction.

[0038] It is understandable that precisely controlling the filling degree at 70% can provide the reaction system with appropriate expansion space during the heating process, thereby avoiding damage to the reactor due to excessive pressure.

[0039] In some embodiments of the present invention, the preprocessing is specifically:

[0040] The dysprosium nitrate hexahydrate was vacuum dried at 60° C. for 12 hours; the 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid was added to anhydrous ethanol and recrystallized twice; the 4,4'-bipyridine was added to toluene and refluxed for purification, and then distilled under reduced pressure; the N,N-dimethylformamide and methanol were dried for 24 hours.

[0041] Specifically, 4A molecular sieves are used to dry N,N-dimethylformamide and methanol; the reflux purification and reduced pressure distillation are both carried out using conventional technical means in the art.

[0042] It can be understood that vacuum drying dysprosium nitrate hexahydrate at 60°C for 12 hours can remove trace impurities that may be contained in the crystallization water and ensure the activity of metal ions; adding 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid to anhydrous ethanol for recrystallization, adding 4,4'-bipyridine to toluene for reflux purification, and then performing reduced pressure distillation can improve the purity of the ligand and reduce the interference of impurities on the coordination reaction.

[0043] In some embodiments of the present invention, the concentrations of the first ligand solution and the second ligand solution are 0.1-0.5 mol / L; and the concentration of the metal salt solution is 0.2-0.6 mol / L.

[0044] Specifically, the concentrations of the first ligand solution and the second ligand solution are preferably 0.3 mol / L, and the concentration of the metal salt solution is preferably 0.4 mol / L.

[0045] In some embodiments of the present invention, the first mixing is specifically: stirring the first ligand solution and the second ligand solution at a speed of 200-300 rpm for 1-2 hours; the stirring speed is preferably 250 rpm, and the stirring time is preferably 1.5 hours.

[0046] In some embodiments of the present invention, the second mixing is specifically: adding the metal salt solution to the mixed ligand solution at a rate of 0.5-1 drops / second at a stirring speed of 300-400 rpm; the stirring speed is preferably 350 rpm, and the dropping speed is preferably 0.8 drops / second.

[0047] It is understood that slowly adding the metal salt solution allows the metal ions to be evenly distributed in the mixed ligand solution, avoiding localized excessive metal ion concentrations. Furthermore, a stirring speed of 300-400 rpm continuously disperses the added metal salt solution, allowing for full contact between the metal ions and the ligands, providing a good foundation for subsequent coordination reactions and helping to form a uniform and structurally stable single-molecule magnet.

[0048] It is understandable that slow addition and appropriate stirring speed can precisely regulate the reaction rate between metal ions and ligands. Through such precise control, the coordination reaction can proceed according to the expected stoichiometric ratio, ensuring the consistency of the structure and performance of the generated product, and improving the purity and quality of the product.

[0049] It is understandable that a uniform mixing system helps the molecules to arrange in an orderly manner during crystal growth, forming a highly symmetric crystal structure, thereby improving the symmetry and related magnetic properties of the dysprosium-based single-molecule magnet.

[0050] In some embodiments of the present invention, the volume ratio of the metal salt solution to the mixed ligand solution is 1:1-1.5; the volume ratio of the metal salt solution to the mixed ligand solution is preferably 1:1.5.

[0051] In some embodiments of the present invention, the hydrothermal reaction is specifically as follows: the temperature is raised to 135°C at a heating rate of 2-3°C / min, maintained for 80 hours, and then cooled to room temperature at a cooling rate of 1-2°C / min; the heating rate is preferably 2.3°C / min, and the cooling rate is preferably 1.5°C / min.

[0052] Understandably, when the temperature is slowly increased, the reaction system is heated evenly, giving the molecules ample time to arrange themselves in an orderly manner. Metal ions and ligands can bind more stably and gradually grow according to a specific lattice structure, which is conducive to the formation of a regular, complete, and highly symmetrical crystal structure. In contrast, rapid temperature increase may lead to local overheating, causing disordered crystal growth and affecting the symmetry and magnetic properties of the single-molecule magnet.

[0053] It's understandable that during a slow heating process, the temperature changes uniformly across the reaction system, preventing the generation of internal stresses due to large temperature gradients. Similarly, slow cooling allows the crystal to shrink evenly during cooling, preventing stress concentration that could lead to crystal cracking or defects. Internal stresses and defects can reduce the stability and magnetic properties of single-molecule magnets, and slow heating and cooling effectively prevent these problems.

[0054] Understandably, the slow heating and cooling process provides a more stable reaction environment, favoring the formation of the target product and reducing the occurrence of side reactions. A stable reaction environment allows for more precise coordination reactions between metal ions and ligands, thereby improving product purity and reducing the impact of impurities on the performance of single-molecule magnets.

[0055] In some embodiments of the present invention, the alkaline regulator is sodium hydroxide or triethylamine.

[0056] It is understood that adjusting the pH of the reaction system to a neutral environment using an alkaline regulator allows the coordination reaction between the dysprosium ion in dysprosium nitrate and 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid and 4,4'-bipyridine to proceed more stably and efficiently. Excessively acidic conditions can protonate groups such as the carboxyl group of the ligand, affecting its coordination with the metal ion. Excessively alkaline conditions can cause the metal ion to form a hydroxide precipitate, which is also detrimental to the coordination reaction. A neutral pH allows the metal ion and ligand to coordinate in an appropriate stoichiometric ratio and spatial configuration, contributing to the formation of a highly symmetrical structure.

[0057] It is understandable that in the subsequent hydrothermal reaction, a neutral pH reaction system is conducive to the stable growth of crystals. It provides a suitable chemical environment for crystal growth, allowing the atoms or molecules to be arranged in an orderly manner during the crystal growth process, promoting the formation of a highly symmetric crystal structure, and thus improving the crystallinity and magnetic properties of the dysprosium-based single-molecule magnet.

[0058] It is understood that the use of sodium hydroxide or triethylamine as alkaline modifiers, during the pH adjustment process, does not introduce ions or groups that could negatively impact the product structure and properties. The sodium ions introduced by sodium hydroxide and the cations formed by protonation of triethylamine are easily removed during the subsequent washing and drying processes, and do not remain in the product to affect the symmetry of the crystal structure and magnetic properties of the single-molecule magnet, thereby ensuring product purity and quality.

[0059] In some embodiments of the present invention, the post-treatment is specifically: filtering out the solid product with a microporous filter membrane with a pore size of 0.22 μm, washing the solid product alternately with methanol and deionized water for 5 times, soaking for 30 minutes each time, and vacuum drying the washed solid product at 55°C for 18 hours.

[0060] It can be understood that methanol is an organic solvent that can dissolve and remove organic impurities attached to the surface of the product, such as unreacted ligands, organic solvent residues, etc., while deionized water can dissolve and wash away water-soluble impurities on the surface of the product, such as ionic impurities of metal salts. The alternating use of the two can fully cover impurities of different properties and ensure the purity of the product.

[0061] Understandably, the relatively mild drying temperature of 55°C prevents the structure of the single-molecule magnet from being damaged by heat, leading to a loss of symmetry or altered magnetic properties. Furthermore, the 18-hour drying time is long enough to allow the product to fully dry at a stable temperature, maintaining its crystal structure and molecular configuration, ensuring its high symmetry and excellent magnetic properties.
