Spotting trends : Upon going from Tb III to Yb III centers in the complexes of the DOTA 4− ligand, a reorientation of the easy axis of magnetization from perpendicular to parallel to the LnO bond of the apical water molecule is experimentally observed and theoretically predicted (see picture; SMM=single‐molecule magnet). Only ions with an odd number of electrons show slow relaxation of the magnetization.
