Lattice water effects on the structures and magnetic properties of single-molecule magnets (SMMs) have attracted considerable attention. Herein, we have successfully synthesized two centrosymmetric binuclear compounds [Dy2(2,3′-ppcad)2(C2H3O2)4(H2O)2] (1) and [Dy2(2,3′-ppcad)2(C2H3O2)4(H2O)2]·6H2O...
