Two rhodamine 6G-based mononuclear dysprosium complexes, [DY(L-R)(L-A)(2)](ClO4)(3)center dot Et2O center dot 1.5MeOH center dot 0.5H(2)O (1) and [Dy(L-R)-(H2O)(4)(MeCN)](ClO4)(3)center dot 2H(2)O center dot MeCN (2) (L-R = salicylaldehyde rhodamine 6G hydrazone, L-A = 2-pyridylcarboxaldehyde benzoyl hydrazone), are synthesized, aiming at improving the magnetic behavior by modulating their coordination environment. Both complexes own one exclusive short Dy-O-phenoxy coordination bond as the predominant bond and exhibit singlemolecule magnet behavior under zero dc field with the energy barrier (U-eff/k(B)) of 90 K (1) and 320 K (2) and apparent hysteresis at 1.9 K. The ab initio calculations indicate that the short Dy-O-phenoxy bond determines the direction of magnetic anisotropic axis for 1 and 2. The quantum tunneling of magnetization (QTM) between the ground Kramers doublets (KDs) in 1 cannot be neglected, leading to an experimental U-eff/k(B) much lower than the calculated energy of the first excited state (318.2 K). For 2, the stronger magnetic anisotropy and negligible QTM between the ground KDs guarantees that the energy barrier is close to the calculated energy of first KDs (320.8 K). On the other hand, the presence of ring-opened xanthene moiety makes complexes 1 and 2 in the solid state emit red light with emission bands of 645 and 658 nm, respectively.
