title: Single-molecule-magnet behavior in a Fe(12)Sm(4) cluster.
abstract: Through the combination of Sm(III) spin carriers with a Fe(III) system, the largest Fe-Ln cluster so far has been synthesized. To our knowledge, the new complex, Fe(12)Sm(4), is the first Sm(III) single-molecule magnet. Furthermore, Fe(12)La(4) and Fe(12)Gd(4) have also been synthesized to help understand the magnetic exchange interactions and origin of magnetic anisotropy in Fe(12)Sm(4).
