Magnetic anisotropy of dysprosium(III) in a low-symmetry environment: a theoretical and experimental investigation

A mixed theoretical and experimental approach is used for determining the local magnetic anisotropy of the dysprosium(III) ion in a low-symmetry environment. The analysis of the temperature and field dependence of the magnetization has shown that the Dy ion has transmitted an antiferromagnetic interaction between radicals but that the Dy-radical interaction is ferromagnetic.
