By using a rigid bulky carboxylic ligand α-cyanocinnamic acid (CCA), a dinuclear dysprosium (III) complex [Dy2(CCA)6 (MeOH)4] (1) was synthesized. Single crystal X-ray crystallography reveals that the two eight-coordinate dysprosium ions are bridged by four deprotonated carboxyl groups, forming a ce...
