A new functional series of mixed-ligand β-diketonate complexes of Fe(III), Ga(III) and Eu(III): evolution of magnetic states

Key Points

• The aim is to synthesize and analyze new heteroleptic metal complexes to understand their magnetic behavior.
• Synthesis of [XLBipy]Cl complexes with Fe(III), Ga(III), and Eu(III) variants.
• Investigation of structural and phase behavior of the complexes.
• Assessment of magnetic properties over a wide temperature range.
• Theoretical analysis of magnetic behavior.
• The synthesized complexes exhibit varied magnetic states dependent on the metal center.
• Distinct differences in phase behavior were noted across the different metal complexes.
• Magnetic properties show significant temperature dependence, indicating the potential for practical applications.
