Molecular multifunctionality preservation upon surface deposition for a chiral single-molecule magnet.

ABSTRACT: The synthesis and characterization of a chiral, enneanuclear Mn(iii)-based, Single-Molecule Magnet, [Mn₉O₄(Me-sao)₆(L)₃(MeO)₃(MeOH)₃]Cl (1; Me-saoH₂ = methylsalicylaldoxime, HL = lipoic acid) is reported. Compound 1 crystallizes in the orthorhombic P2₁2₁2₁ space group and consists of a metallic skeleton describing a defect super-tetrahedron missing one vertex. The chirality of the [Mn^III ₉] core originates from the directional bridging of the Me-sao^2- ligands via the -N-O- oximate moieties, which define a clockwise (1ΔΔ) or counter-clockwise (1ΛΛ) rotation in both the upper [Mn^III ₃] an
