Abstract

We present the syntheses, structures, magnetic data and theoretical analyses for two families of heptanuclear clusters, wherein two staggered dysprosium(III) triangles are linked by various M(III) d‐/p‐block ions. The families differ in the counter‐anion and are of formulae [DyIII6MIII(OH)8(o‐tol)12(MeOH)5(NO3)]∙4MeOH and [DyIII6MIII(OH)8(o‐tol)12(MeOH)6]Cl·6MeOH (M = Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Al; o‐tol = o‐toluate). We find that variation of the central metal ion M is crucial in tuning the toroidal moments on the triangular units, with diamagnetic M linking ions enhancing the ferrotoroidic coupling. By detailed simulation and analysis of various magnetic measurements, including sub‐kelvin microSquid hysteresis loops, we identified the specific signature of the M linking ions’ modulation of toroidal properties, including the mechanism whereby anisotropic, paramagnetic M ions lead to hysteresis profiles with larger remnant magnetisations and broader coercive fields.
