Abstract

Cocrystallization of a lithium ion encapsulated fullerene Li⁺@C₆₀ with a terbium(iii) phthalocyaninato porphyrinato double-decker single-molecule magnet [Tb(Pc)(OEP)] is reported. The cocrystal, containing PF₆^- as a counter anion, packs in a quasi-kagome lattice, which leads to intermolecular ferromagnetic interactions as well as the modulation of the single-molecule magnet (SMM) properties.
