Dy{sup 3+} single ions in CsY{sub 2}Br{sub 9} and Dy{sup 3+}-Dy{sup 3+} dimers in Cs{sub 3}Dy{sub 2}Br{sub 9} were studied by optical spectroscopy and by inelastic neutron scattering (INS). In the diluted compound the energy level scheme for the eight crystal electric field (CEF) levels of the {sup 6}He{sub 15/2} ground-state multiplet of Dy{sup 3+} in C{sub 3v} symmetry is obtained and the CEF parameters and INS spectroscopy. The ground and first excited CEF levels are further split due to the exchange interaction between the two Dy{sup 3+} ions. These splittings can be accounted for by a Heisenberg Hamiltonian with an antiferromagnetic exchange parameter 2J = 0.05 cm{sup {minus}1}.
