Abstract

<abstract abstract-type="graphical" xml:lang="en"> <title> <x xml:space="preserve">Abstract</x> </title> <p> <bold>Spotting trends</bold>: Upon going from Tb^III to Yb^III centers in the complexes of the DOTA⁴⁻ ligand, a reorientation of the easy axis of magnetization from perpendicular to parallel to the LnO 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.<boxed-text content-type="graphic" position="anchor" orientation="portrait"><graphic position="anchor" mimetype="image" xlink:href="ark:/27927/pgg1pjrpx24" orientation="portrait" xlink:type="simple" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink" /></boxed-text></p> </abstract>
