title: Fast magnetic relaxation in an octahedral dysprosium tetramethyl-aluminate complex.
abstract: Ab initio calculations on the octahedral dysprosium aluminate complex [Dy(AlMe4)3] (1) predict weak SMM properties. Dynamic magnetic susceptibility measurements on 1 confirm the theoretical predictions, revealing fast relaxation of the magnetization via quantum tunnelling.
