A strictly heterodinuclear Cu−Tb complex [LCu(O2COMe)Tb(thd)2] made with a Schiff base L, thd, and monomethylcarbonate ligands [L2- = N,N‘-2,2-dimethylpropylenedi(3-methoxysalicylideneiminato); thd = tetramethylheptanedionato] behaves like a single-molecule magnet. The monomethylcarbonate ligand, which appears during the reaction pathway, bridges the Cu and Tb ions.
