Four complexes containing DyIII and PrIII ions and their LnIII–ZnII analogs have been synthesized in order to study the influence that a diamagnetic ZnII ion has on the electronic structure and hence, the magnetic properties of the DyIII and PrIII single ions. Single‐crystal X‐ray diffraction reveal...
