Abstract
The first dysprosium complexes with a terminal fluoride ligand are obtained as air‐stable compounds. The strong, highly electrostatic dysprosium–fluoride bond generates a large axial crystal‐field splitting of the J=15/2 ground state, as evidenced by high‐resolution luminescence spectroscopy and correlated with the single‐molecule magnet behavior through experimental magnetic susceptibility data and ab initio calculations.
