Single-molecule magnets: control by a single solvent molecule of Jahn-Teller isomerism in [Mn12O12(O2CCH2Bu(t))16(H2O)4]

Chem Commun (Camb). 2003 Nov 7:(21):2672-3. doi: 10.1039/b306246e.

Abstract

Faster- and slower-relaxing versions of the title Mn12 compound have been obtained in pure forms that crystallize in the same space group and differ only in the identity of one lattice solvent molecule; solvent loss causes isomerization from the faster- to the slower-relaxing form.
