Abstract

Three mixed-metal single-molecule magnets containing [Mn₈Fe ₄O₁₂]¹⁶⁺ cores are synthesized and characterized. The reaction of FeCl₂·4H₂O with KMnO₄ and RCOOH (R = CH₂Cl, CH₂Br) in H ₂O gives [Mn₈Fe₄O₁₂(O ₂CR)₁₆(H₂O)₄] (R = CH₂Cl (1), CH₂Br (2)) in yields of 43% and 40%, respectively. Treatment of complex 1 with an excess of CHCl₂COOH in CH₂Cl₂ gives [Mn₈Fe₄O₁₂(O₂CCHCl ₂)₁₆(H₂O)₄]·CH ₂Cl₂·10H₂O (3·CH ₂Cl₂·10H₂O) in a yield of 83%. The X-ray structure analysis reveals that all three complexes consist of a trapped-valence dodecanuclear core comprising 4Mn^III, 4Fe ^III, and 4Mn^IV ions. DC magnetic susceptibility and magnetization measurements indicate that all three complexes exhibit intramolecular antiferromagnetic interaction, resulting in an S = 4 ground state. In addition, frequency-dependent out-of-phase AC magnetic susceptibility signals at low temperature for complexes 1, 2, and 3 are indicative of their single-molecule magnetism behavior.
