Self-organization of Mn12 single-molecule magnets into ring structures induced by breath-figures as templates.
Cooling evaporation of a CH2Cl2 solution of Mn12 clusters on highly oriented pyrolitic graphite (HOPG) initiates the formation of water droplets that act as templates for the formation of self-assembled molecular magnetic rings.
