Abstract

Slow paramagnetic relaxation was observed at low temperatures from ac susceptibility measurements in the form of a frequency-dependent out-of-phase (χ) signal for the title complex (see picture). This provides compelling evidence that this cluster is a rare example of a cyanide-bridged single-molecule magnet.
