The reaction of [Ln(btfa)3(H2O)2] (btfa− = 4,4,4-trifluoro-1-phenyl-1,3-butanedionate) with additional 4,4,4-trifluoro-1-phenyl-1,3-butanedione (Hbtfa) and acridine (Acr) in ethanol allows the isolation of the mononuclear compounds HAcr[Nd(btfa)4]·EtOH, (1) and HAcr[Ln(btfa)4], Ln = Dy (2) and Yb (3); HAcr+ = acridinium cation. Magnetic measurements indicate that complexes 1–3 show field-induced single-ion magnet behavior with anisotropy energy barriers and preexponential factors of Ueff = 20.7 cm−1, τ0 = 24.5 × 10−8 s; Ueff = 40.5 cm−1, τ0 = 8.6 × 10−10 s and Ueff = 22.7 cm−1, τ0 = 8.4 × 10−8 s, for 1–3 respectively. The solid-state luminescence emission in the NIR region shows efficient energy transfer from the 4,4,4-trifluoro-1-phenyl-1,3-butanedionate ligands to the central Ln3+ ion in the case of compounds 1 and 3.
