Lanthanide Metal-Organic Frameworks Assembled from Unexplored Imidazolylcarboxylic Acid: Structure and Field-Induced Two-Step Magnetic Relaxation

A series of 3D homologous metal–organic frameworks, [M(H0.5L)2] [M = Dy (1), Ho (2), Yb (3), Sm (4), Gd (5), and Y (6); H2L = 5-(1H-imidazol-1-yl)isophthalic acid], were isolated. In these complexe...
