<p>Utilizing a terphenyl bisanilide ligand, two Dy(III) complexes [K(DME)<sub>x</sub>][L<sup>Ar</sup>Dy(X)<sub>2</sub>] (L<sup>Ar</sup> = {C<sub>6</sub>H<sub>4</sub>[(2,6-<i><sup>i</sup></i>PrC<sub>6</sub>H<sub>3</sub>)NC<sub>6</sub>H<sub>4</sub>]<sub>2</sub>}<sup>2-</sup>), X = Cl (<b>1</b>) and X = I (<b>2</b>) were synthesized. The ligand imposes an unusual see-saw shaped molecular geometry leading to a coordinatively unsaturated complex with near-linear N-Dy-N (avg. 159.9° for<b>1</b> and avg. 160.3<sup>o</sup> for <b>2</b>) bond angles. These complexes exhibit Single-Molecule Magnet (SMM) behavior with significant uniaxial magnetic anisotropy as a result of the transverse coordination of the bisanlide ligand which yields high energy barriers to magnetic spin reversal of <i>U</i><sub>eff</sub> = 1334 K/ 927cm<sup>-1</sup> (<b>1</b>) and 1299 K/ 903 cm<sup>-1</sup> (<b>2</b>) in zero field. Magneto-structural correlations are discussed with the goal of finding a link between halide ancillary ligands in the structurally analogous complexes and the through barrier relaxation dynamics observed in the ac magnetic susceptibility, despite the similar dc magnetic susceptibility for compounds <b>1</b> and <b>2</b>. <i>Ab initio</i> calculations reveal that the dominant crystal field of the bisanilide ligand controls the orientation of the main magnetic axis which runs nearly parallel to the N-Dy-N bonds, and defines the height of the energy barrier. Thus, further validating the use of transverse ligands to enhance the SMM properties of Dy(III) ions.</p>

<p>Energy barriers to magnetisation reversal (U<sub>eff</sub>) in single-molecule magnets (SMMs) have vastly increased recently, but only for the dysprosocenium SMM [Dy(Cp<sup>ttt</sup>)<sub>2</sub>][B(C<sub>6</sub>F<sub>5</sub>)<sub>4</sub>] (Cp<sup>ttt</sup> = C<sub>5</sub>H<sub>2</sub><sup>t</sup>Bu<sub>3</sub>-1,2,4) has this translated into a considerable increase in magnetic hysteresis temperatures. The lack of concomitant increases in hysteresis temperatures with U<sub>eff</sub> values is due to efficient magnetic relaxation at zero-field, referred to as quantum tunnelling of the magnetisation (QTM); however, the exact nature of this phenomenon is unknown. Recent hypotheses suggest that both transverse dipolar magnetic fields and hyperfine coupling play a significant role in this process for Dy(III) SMMs. Here, by studying the compounds [Dy(<sup>t</sup>BuO)Cl(THF)<sub>5</sub>][BPh<sub>4</sub>] (<b>1</b>), [K(18-crown-6-ether)(THF)<sub>2</sub>][Dy(BIPM)<sub>2</sub>] (<b>2</b>, BIPM = C{PPh<sub>2</sub>NSiMe<sub>3</sub>}<sub>2</sub>), and [Dy(Cp<sup>ttt</sup>)<sub>2</sub>][B(C<sub>6</sub>F<sub>5</sub>)<sub>4</sub>] (<b>3</b>), we show conclusively that neither of these processes are the main contributor to zero-field QTM for Dy(III) SMMs, and suggest that its origin instead owes to molecular flexibility. By analysing the vibrational modes of the three molecules, we show that the modes that most impact the magnetic ion occur at the lowest energies for <b>1</b>, at intermediate energies for <b>2</b> and at higher energies for <b>3</b>, in correlation with their ability to retain magnetisation. Therefore, we conclude that SMM performance could be improved by employing more rigid ligands with higher-energy metal-ligand vibrational modes.</p>
