title: A bifunctional luminescent single-ion magnet: towards correlation between luminescence studies and magnetic slow relaxation processes.
abstract: A new heterodinuclear [Zn(L)Dy](3+) complex, with L being a compartmental Schiff base ligand, exhibits the characteristic Dy(3+) luminescence associated with a single-ion field induced slow relaxation of the magnetisation. This complex may be considered as one of the rare examples of a bifunctional luminescent single-ion magnet.
