Abstract

A single magnet in a triple decker! TbIII-phthalocyaninate triple-decker 1, which has a center of symmetry, showed two magnetic relaxation processes in the low-temperature region in the presence of a direct current (dc) magnetic field. These results suggest that the single-molecule magnet/magnetic properties of 1 undergo a significant transition in a dc magnetic field.
