biostudies-literatureUnknown9(65)Yang ECThis paper reports on the synthesis, structure and magnetic properties of a new type of rod like Mn₁₂ metal cluster, [Mn₁₂O₇(OH)₂(OMe)₂(dmhmp)₄(O₂CPh)₁₁(H₂O)] (6) where the ligand (dmhmpH) is 2-(pyridine-2-yl)propan-2-ol. Compound (6) was obtained by reacting MnCl₂·4H₂O with dmhmpH in the presence of benzoic salt and Et₃N. The resulting crystalline material is assigned to the triclinic space group <i>P</i>1̄. Although compound (6) displays ferromagnetic and antiferromagnetic competition behavior, this does not prevent the molecule from functioning as a single-molecule magnet (SMM). The SMM behavior is evidenced by observing frequency dependent out-of-phase ac RSC advances37740-37746https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC9075757biostudies-literatureA new member of a class of rod-like Mn₁₂ single molecule magnets using 2-(pyridine-2-ly)propan-2-ol.PMC9075757Yang ECHong LXNiekamp LHuang SYLee GHDamjanovic MWernsdorfer WfalseA new member of a class of rod-like Mn₁₂ single molecule magnets using 2-(pyridine-2-ly)propan-2-ol.This paper reports on the synthesis, structure and magnetic properties of a new type of rod like Mn₁₂ metal cluster, [Mn₁₂O₇(OH)₂(OMe)₂(dmhmp)₄(O₂CPh)₁₁(H₂O)] (6) where the ligand (dmhmpH) is 2-(pyridine-2-yl)propan-2-ol.
