Macrocyclic single‐molecule magnet : The dynamic behavior of the tetranuclear zinc(II)–dysprosium(III) complex of the hexaimine [3+3] macrocycle (L Pr ) 6− under an external DC field (1500 Oe) indicates that it is a single‐molecule magnet (SMM). It is the first to contain a single lanthanide ion (in orange, see graphic) coordinated inside the cavity of a single macrocyclic ligand and thus represents a new class of SMM.
