Single-molecule magnets (SMMs)[1, 2] are molecular species that can retain magnetization in the absence of a magnetic field below a blocking temperature. They represent the smallest possible magnetic storage device, which retains information in a single molecule rather than in a magnetic particle or array of particles. Furthermore, such molecules straddle the classical/quantum interface in also displaying quantum tunneling of magnetization and quantum phase interference. The SMM behavior derives from the intrinsic intramolecular properties of a high-spin ground state, and large and negative (easy axis type) magnetoanisotropy.[1, 2] Experimentally, a SMM exhibits both a frequency-dependent out-of-phase alternating current (ac) magnetic susceptibility (χ’’) signal and hysteresis loops in magnetization versus direct current (dc) field studies.[1] To date, the best and most extensively studied SMMs are the class of the dodecanuclear species [Mn12O12 (O2CR) 16 (H2O) x] nÀ (n= 0, 1, 2; x= 3, 4; MnIII 8 MnIV 4 for n= 0) and their derivatives,[1, 2] but there are a number of other examples of SMMs containing manganese (at the oxidation states ii/iii, iii/iv or ii/iii/iv), iron, cobalt, nickel, and vanadium.[1–3] Important to the future of the field of SMMs is the development of new synthetic schemes that can yield molecules with a large spin and/or anisotropy. Herein we report access to the first members of a new class of manganese-based SMMs consisting exclusively of MnIII ions with TB (TB= blocking temperature) greater than 2 K.
