title: Structure and magnetic properties of a decanuclear Mn(II)₂Mn(III)₂Dy₆ aggregate.
abstract: Using glycerol (H₃gly) as a primary ligand, the decanuclear aggregate [Mn(II)₂Mn(III)₂Dy₆(μ₃-OH)₂(Hgly)₄(H₂gly)₂-(PhCO₂)₁₆(H₂O)₂]·10CH₃CN (1) has been synthesised; it has a structure built up from two Mn₂Dy₂ heterocubane units linked through a central Dy₂(μ-benzoate)₄ paddle-wheel dimer and shows slow relaxation of its magnetisation.
