Butterfly magnet: The replacement of diamagnetic Co(III) for Cr(III) in a 3d-4f butterfly complex results in vastly improved single-molecule magnet properties. Longer relaxation times are found, with magnetic hysteresis observed. This is due to exchange interactions between the Dy(III) and Cr(III) ions, resulting in a multilevel exchange barrier with significantly reduced quantum tunneling of the magnetization.
