title: Large spin-state changes in isostructural cyanate- and azide-bridged Mn(3)(III)Mn(2)(II) single-molecule magnets.
abstract: We prepared three structurally related Mn(3)(III)Mn(2)(II) complexes that possess S approximately 1-11 spin ground states as a result of variations in the geometry and identity of mu(2)-eta(1):eta(1) bridging groups. These complexes function as single-molecule magnets yet demonstrate other interesting behavior such as quasi-classical magnetization hysteresis and comparable magnetization reversal barriers (U(eff)).
