Assembly of [(Mn2Mn2III)-Mn-II] S=9 Clusters via Azido Bridges: a New Single-Chain Magnet
In the present work, we report a new manganese single-chain magnet built from tetranuclear (Mn2Mn2III)-Mn-II mixed-valence units linked by end-on azido and oximato bridges. All of the intra- and intercluster interactions involve end-on azido bridges, resulting in one ferromagnetic chain of ferromagnetic clusters with local ground state S = 9.
