Five novel Ln(III) complexes based on a new nitronyl nitroxide radical have been synthesized, characterized structurally and magnetically: [Ln(hfac)₃(NITPh-3-Br-4-OMe)₂] (Ln(III)=Eu(1), Gd(2), Tb(3), Dy(4), Ho(5); hfac=hexafluoroacetylacetonate; and NITPh-3-Br-4-OMe=2-3´-Br-4´-methoxyphenyl-4,4,5,5 -tetramethylimidazoline-1-oxyl-3-oxide). The single-crystal structures analyses show that these complexes have similar mononuclear tri-spin structures, in which central Ln(III) ions are all eight coordinated by three hfac molecules and two NITPh-3-Br-4-OMe radicals. The variable-temperature magnetic susceptibility studies reveal the antiferromagnetic interactions between the paramagnetic ions (Ln(III) and radicals) in complexes 1, 2, 3 and 5 and ferromagnetic interaction in complex 4. The luminescence characterizations of complexes Eu(1), Tb(3) and Dy(4) are also studied in this paper. - Graphical abstract: Using a novel halogen phenyl-substituted nitronyl-nitroxide radical, we obtained and characterized five isostructural lanthanide mononuclear tri-spin compounds. Highlights: • A new halogen phenyl-substituted nitronyl-nitroxide radical was designed. • Five new Ln(III) radical complexes have been synthesized and characterized. • The reasonable evaluation the magnetic interactions between Ln(III) ions and radical is meaningful. • These complexes show good luminescent properties.
