High resolution inelastic neutron scattering is used to study excitations in the organometallic magnet DMACuCl$_3$. The correct magnetic Hamiltonian describing this material has been debated for many years. Combined with high field bulk magnetization and susceptibility studies, the new results imply that DMACuCl$_3$ is a realization of the $S=1/2$ alternating antiferromagnetic-ferromagnetic (AFM-FM) chain. Coupled-cluster calculations are used to derive exchange parameters, showing that the AFM and FM interactions have nearly the same strength. Analysis of the scattering intensities shows clear evidence for inter-dimer spin correlations, in contrast to existing results for conventional alternating chains. The results are discussed in the context of recent ideas concerning quantum entanglement.
