The crystallographic studies revealed that all of the complexes possess a similar structural motif with an 8:8-coordination geometry, in which the bpm ligand bridges two Ln(III) centers in the kappa N-2(1,1') : kappa N-2(3,3') mode and three RR'dtc(-) ligands coordinate to each Ln(III) center. The complexes exhibit weak but relatively sharp f-f transition bands in the absorption and magnetic circular dichroism (MCD) spectra recorded in the visible region. The MCD spectral studies demonstrated the magneto-optical behavior of the complexes. The spectral features of the dithiocarbamato complexes were distinctly different from those of their beta-diketonato analogues, suggesting the coordination environment around the Ln(III) center influences the electronic structure and spectroscopic symmetry of the complexes in solution. en-copyright= kn-copyright= en-aut-name=YakubuAbdallah en-aut-sei=Yakubu en-aut-mei=Abdallah kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=1 ORCID= en-aut-name=SuzukiTakayoshi en-aut-sei=Suzuki en-aut-mei=Takayoshi kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=2 ORCID= en-aut-name=KitaMasakazu en-aut-sei=Kita en-aut-mei=Masakazu kn-aut-name= kn-aut-sei= kn-aut-mei= aut-affil-num=3 ORCID= affil-num=1 en-affil=Graduate School of Natural Science and Technology, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=2 en-affil=Research Institute for Interdisciplinary Science, Okayama University kn-affil= affil-num=3 en-affil=Faculty of Education, Okayama University kn-affil= en-keyword=2,2 '-Bipyrimidine kn-keyword=2,2 '-Bipyrimidine en-keyword=Dithiocarbamate kn-keyword=Dithiocarbamate en-keyword=Homodinuclear kn-keyword=Homodinuclear en-keyword=Electronic structure kn-keyword=Electronic structure en-keyword=Magnetic circular dichroism kn-keyword=Magnetic circular dichroism END
