Abstract
An unprecedented combination of isotopic enrichment and magnetic dilution approaches for a prolate ytterbium(III)-based complex was performed. It results in the appearance of the first observations of a nuclear spin effect on both quantum tunneling of magnetization and slow magnetic relaxation for an ytterbium complex under a zero applied field.
