The structures and properties of two mononuclear Dy(iii) enantiomeric pairs were dramatically controlled by crystallization temperature; the enantiomeric pair with coordinated chiral N,N'-donor ligands exhibits enhanced single-ion magnetic, ferroelectric and chiroptical properties with respect to the other one with protonated chiral N,N'-donor ligands.
