The first tetranuclear metallacage and mononuclear cocrystalline Dy^III-radical complex was synthesized and characterized. The metallacage in [Dy₄(hfac)₈(IMPhThio)₂(OH)₄][Dy(hfac)₃(NITPhThio)₂] consists of Dy(hfac)₂⁺ groups bridged by OH^– and the IMPhThio radical. Field-induced single-molecule-magnet behavior was observed in the nitronyl nitroxide radical-bridged polynuclear complex.
