Abstract
A family of fully sandwiched arachno-lanthanacarborane complexes formulated as {η6 -[μ-1,2-[o-C6 H4 (CH2 )2 ]-1,2-C2 B10 H10 ]2 Ln}{Li5 (THF)10 } (Ln=Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Y) is successfully synthesized, where the "carbons-adjacent" carboranyl ligand (arachno-R2 -C2 B10 H10 4- ) bears four negative charges and coordinates to the central lanthanide ions using the hexagonal η6 C2 B4 face. Thus, the central lanthanide cations are pseudo-twelve-coordinate and have an approximate pseudo-D6h symmetry or hexagonal-prismatic geometry. As the crystal field effect imparted by this geometry is still unknown, we thoroughly investigated the magnetic properties of this series of complexes and found that the crystal field imposed by this ligand causes a relation of Tb>Dy>Ho>Er for the energy gaps between the ground and the first excited states, which is of striking resemblance to the ferrocenophane and phthalocyanine ligands although the latter two ligands give disparate local coordination geometries. Moreover, the effective energy barrier to magnetization reversal of 445(10) K, the observable hysteresis loop up to 4 K and the relaxation time of the yttrium-diluted sample reaching 193(17) seconds at 2 K under an optimized field for the Tb analogue of this family of arachno-lanthanacarborane complexes, render a new benchmark for Tb3+ -based single-molecule magnets.

Abstract
The fast Raman relaxation process via a virtual energy level has become a puzzle for how to chemically engineer single-molecule magnets (SMMs) with better performance. Here, we use the trifluoromethyl group to systematically substitute the methyl groups in the axial position of the parent bis-butoxide pentapyridyl dysprosium(III) SMM. The resulting complexes-[Dy(OLA )2 py5 ][BPh4 ] (LA =CH(CF3 )2 - 1, CH2 CF3 - 2, CMe2 CF3 - 3)-show progressively enhanced TB hys (@100 Oe s-1 ) from 17 K (for 3), 20 K (for 2) to 23 K (for 1). By experimentally identifying the varied under barrier relaxation energy in the 5-500 cm-1 regime, we are able to identify that the C-F bond related vibration energy of the axial ligand ranging from 200 to 350 cm-1 is the key variant for this improvement. Thus, this finding not only reveals a correlation between the structure and the Raman process but also provides a paradigm for how to apply the vibronic barrier model to analyze multi-phonon relaxation processes in lanthanide SMMs.
