A Mixed-metal Single-molecule Magnet: [Mn8Fe4O12(O2CCH2Cl)16(H2O)4]

Abstract

Abstract The synthesis, X-ray crystal structure and magnetic properties of a new single-molecule magnet [Mn8Fe4O12(O2CCH2Cl)16(H2O)4]·2CH2ClCOOH·2CH2Cl2 (3·2CH2ClCOOH·2CH2Cl2) are reported. Reduced magnetization data of complex 3 indicate an S = 4 ground state, and the out-of-phase components of AC magnetic susceptibilities have frequency dependent maxima.
