TL;DR: The Dy(2) complex is an ideal candidate for the elucidation of slow relaxation of the magnetization mechanism seen in lanthanide systems.

TL;DR: This tutorial review will span a number of dinuclear 4f complexes which have been critical in the understanding of the way in which lanthanide centres in a complex interact magnetically and examine key bridging moieties from the more common oxygen-based groups to newly discovered radical-based bridges and draw conclusions regarding the most effective superexchange pathways allowing the most efficient intracomplex interactions.

TL;DR: The magnetic dilution method was employed in order to elucidate the origin of the slow relaxation of the magnetization in a Dy(2) single-molecule magnet (SMM) and the dominant single-ion relaxation was found to be entangled with the neighboring Dy(III) ion relaxation within the molecule, greatly influencing the quantum tunneling in this complex.

TL;DR: Systematic increase of the barrier was observed for all complexes with the most drastic increase seen in 6 when the acac ligand of 5 was fluorinated resulting in a 7-fold enhancement of the anisotropic barrier.

TL;DR: Changing the ligand field and geometry with an additional terpy ligand leads to spin-crossover behavior in 3 with a gradual transition from high spin to low spin.
