Slow relaxation of magnetization has been studied for a series of stable isomorphic 3D‐polynuclear Ln‐Co complexes comprising hexadentate [Co(CN)6]3– linkers, namely {[Ln(H2O)2][Co(CN)6]·2H2O}n where Ln = Tb (1), Dy (2), Er (3) and Yb (4). While 1 and 4 behave as field‐induced single‐ion magnets (SIMs), compounds 2 and 3 undergo rapid demagnetization even under magnetic fields up to 5000 Oe. The effective anisotropic energy barrier of 4 was estimated as 63 K (5000 Oe) which, to the best of our knowledge, is the highest value among Yb‐based SIMs. The obtained data are discussed in scope of the configuration of the Ln environment, i.e. accounting its composition and geometry as well as mutual arrangement of chemically unequal donating centers. Thus, the studied series of complexes represents very rare case when SIM performance of non‐dysprosium complexes far surpasses that of isomorphic Dy derivative.
