Towards Understanding Prolate 4$f$ Monomers: Numerical Predictions and Experimental Validation of Electronic Properties and Slow Relaxation in a Muffin-shaped Er${}^{\mathrm{III}}$ Complex

J. Arneth, C. Pachl, G. Greif +4

We report the synthesis, crystal structure and magnetic properties of the triply-capped, slightly distorted trigonal-prismatic complex [Er(PPTMP)${}_2$(H${}_2$O)][OTf]${}_3$ (PPTMP = (4-…
