A perfect triangular dysprosium single-molecule magnet with virtually antiparallel Ising-like anisotropy

Abstract

A perfect triangular Dy₃ single-molecule magnet was reported. Each Dy(<sc>iii</sc>) magnetic axis is oriented almost normal to the plane of Dy₃, and the intramolecular magnetic dipole interaction gives rise to a virtually antiparallel Ising-like ground state.
