title: Synthesis and magnetic properties of a 4-(2'-pyrimidyl)-1,2,3,5-dithiadiazolyl dimanganese complex.
abstract: A spin-bearing bis-bidentate ligand, designed from a pyrimidyl-substituted R-CN2S2 neutral radical, is used to co-ordinate two Mn(II) metal centres yielding a thermally stable complex with antiferromagnetic coupling between the ligand-centred spin and the metal-centred spins, and thus an overall ferrimagnetic coupling scheme with a ground state S = 9/2.
