Abstract

The [Mn12O12(O2CR)16(L4)] family (R = various; L = terminal ligand) of clusters holds a special place in molecular magnetism; they are the most well-studied single-molecule magnets (SMMs). Targeted linkage of these SMMs has now been achieved for the first time. The resulting chain structures have been confirmed crystallographically, and the magnetic properties, up to 1.14 GPa, and high-field electron paramagnetic resonance spectra have been collected and analyzed.
