•Chemical tuning of the structure of a Dy-dimer enhances its Single Molecule Magnet behavior.•The new complex can be sublimated intact as thin film.•The magnetic behavior of the complex is fully preserved after the sublimation. The insertion of Single Molecule Magnets (SMMs) in spintronic devices ha...
