1 Introduction Single-molecule magnets (SMMs) continue to spark interest in the field of molecular magnetism due to their superparamagnetic behavior, which allows the retention of magnetisation at low enough temperatures in the absence of an external magnetic field, hence an ability to store information at the molecular level [1].

Enhancing blocking temperatures in {Cr III2Dy III2} butterfly SMMs: deciphering the role of exchange interactions and developing magneto-structural maps† A tetranuclear heterometallic butterfly-shaped complex of molecular formula; [CrIII2DyIII2(OMe)2(mdea)2(benz)4(NO3)2] (mdeaH2 = N-methyldiethanolamine, benz = benzoate) was reported by us and found to display single-molecule magnetism (SMM) behaviour with a Ueff = 54 cm−1 and well-resolved magnetisation hysteresis plots, with a blocking...
