Abstract: Two dysprosium complexes, [(C<subscript>5</subscript>H<subscript>4</subscript>Me)<subscript>2</subscript>Dy(L<superscript>1</superscript>)] (3) and [(L<superscript>1</superscript>)Dy(μ-Cl)<subscript>3</subscript>{Li(tmeda)}]<subscript>2</subscript> (4), with amino-functionalized pentadienyl ligands L<superscript>1</superscript> are described. Crystallographic studies of 3 and 4 show that the pendant amino group influences the pentadienyl conformation and the ligand hapticity. Electronic structure calculations reveal that L<superscript>1</superscript> has a strong influence on the orientation of the main magnetic axis of the ground Kramers doublets in 3 and 4.
