title: Slow relaxation in the first penta-aza Dy(III) macrocyclic complex.
abstract: A new macrocyclic complex DyCl3(LN5)·4H2O (1) has been prepared in which the Dy(III) ion is equatorially bound by an N5-donor macrocycle (LN5). Ac susceptibility data reveal slow relaxation of the magnetisation in zero field below 15 K with a distribution of relaxation rates.
