An unsymmetrical coordination environment leading to two slow relaxation modes in a Dy2 single-molecule magnet

Abstract

A Dy2 single-molecule magnet was isolated using a mixed ligand strategy in which the DyIII ions adopt distinct coordination environments. This leads to two unique relaxation modes due to a single-ion type relaxation mechanism. Energy barriers were obtained from individually fitting the overlapping peaks.
