The image illustrates the first coordination of a tetraimido sulfate ligand via two of its nitrogen donors to a lanthanide ion producing mono- and bimetallic lanthanide complexes where specifically the dysprosium congeners, benefitting from the intrinsic oblate-shaped electron density, feature single-molecular magnet behavior as indicated by the observed slow magnetic relaxation.
