A manganese single-chain magnet exhibits a large magnetic coercivity

Abstract

A manganese single-chain magnet, [Mn(6)O(2)(4-MeOsalox)(6)(N(3))(2)(MeOH)(4)](n) (4-MeO-H(2)salox = 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde oxime), is synthesized via the assembly of Mn(6) single-molecule magnets, which exhibits a large magnetic coercivity.
