Mn12-acetate is the prototype of a class of polynuclear transition metal complexes known as single-molecule magnets (SMMs). These spin clusters exhibit new phenomena such as slow relaxation and quantum tunneling of magnetization (QTM) at low temperature,[1, 2] and this discovery, about a decade ago, triggered a flurry of interdisciplinary research in physics and chemistry. Mn12-acetate was the first SMM discovered, and its properties have been thoroughly studied by many different techniques. As shown in Figure 1, it is composed of a tetrahedral core of oxygen-coordinated Mn4+ ions, which are surrounded by a ring of eight Mn3+ ions with oxo and acetate coordination.[3] Dominant antiferromagnetic interactions between the Mn4+ and Mn3+ ions lead to an S= 10 ground state.[4] The Mn3+ coordination environment is Jahn–Teller-distorted; the elongated MnÀO bonds are emphasized in Figure 1. The concerted action of the resulting Mn3+ single-ion anisotropies leads to an overall easy-axis-type anisotropy of the S= 10 cluster ground state, which can be expressed by Equation (1).
