The TTF-based skeleton could be alkylated with either the di(pyrazol-1-yl)-4-pyridyl (L1) or dimethyl-2,2′-bipyridine (L2) to design multichelating ligands. The ([Yb2(hfac)6(L1)]·2(CH2Cl2)·C6H14 (1) and [Ln2(hfac)6(L2)]·CH2Cl2 (Ln = Yb (2) and Dy (3)) complexes which display either SMM behaviour with the hysteresis loop at 0.5 K or multi-NIR emissions.
