Single molecular magnets comprising rare earth metals are of high interest because the unquenched orbital moments of the rare earth ions result in a large energy barrier for magnetization reversal. We investigate polynuclear 4f - 3d metallacrowns using X-ray magnetic circular dichroism at low temperatures. The element-selective spin and orbital moments of the rare earth ions hint to a large magnetic anisotropy of up to 6 meV. The magnetic moments of some 3d transition metal ions can be controlled by chemical means upon changing the corresponding ligand field.
