title: A planar triangular Dy3 + Dy3 single-molecule magnet with a toroidal magnetic moment.
abstract: A unique Dy6 complex with a planar Dy3 + Dy3 structure was assembled by delicately modifying the axial ligands. Single-molecule magnet behavior and meanwhile a toroidal magnetic moment in the ground state have been observed.
