A textbook dysprosium dinuclear complex based on acetylacetone ligands, [Dy2 (acac)4 (μ2 -acac)2 (H2 O)2 ], has been synthesized and fully characterized. This simple dimeric lanthanide complex shows well-resolved solid-state luminescence and behaves as a single-molecule magnet under zero DC field. A seminal crystal-field approach is used to marry both magnetism and luminescence in the frame of an energetic picture.
