We report transmittance and polarized reflectance measurements of crystalline Mn 1 2 -acetate over a wide frequency range (600-50 000 cm - 1 ) to investigate the electronic structure of this prototypical molecular magnet. Overall, the spectral features are quite diffuse down to 10 K, although a number of Mn inner → outer and O p→ Mn d charge transfer excitations are observed and assigned. The two lowest energy excitations (at 13500 and 15 900 cm - 1 ) are polarized perpendicular to the easy magnetization (c) axis. Optical gaps are estimated at 8750 cm (1.08 eV) and 14 000 cm - (1.75 eV), corresponding to minority and majority gaps, respectively.
