Abstract
An organometallic single-ion magnet is synthesized with only 19 non-hydrogen atoms featuring an erbium ion sandwiched by two different aromatic ligands. This molecule displays a butterfly-shaped hysteresis loop at 1.8 K up to even 5 K. Alternating-current (ac) susceptibility measurement reveals the existence of two thermally activated magnetic relaxation processes with the energy barriers as high as 197 and 323 K, respectively.
