Abstract
Three distorted tetrahedral Dy(III) aryloxide complexes, [Na(THF)6][Dy(OArAd2tBu)2Cl2] (1) (OArAd2tBu = OC6H2Adamantyl2-2,6-tBu-4) and [Na(THF)6][Dy(OMes*)3X] (X = Cl, 2; BH4, 3), (OMes* = OC6H2tBu3-2,4,6) exhibit easy axis magnetic anisotropy and slow magnetic relaxation at zero field, with relaxation rates 1 < 2 < 3.
