title: Complementary ligands direct the formation of a calix[8]arene-supported ferromagnetic Mn(IV)Mn(III) dimer.
abstract: A combination of complementary ligands, p-tert-butylcalix[8]arene (TBC[8]) and phenyl salicylaldoxime (Ph-saoH2) have been utilised in the facile synthesis of a Mn(III)Mn(IV) dimer. Magnetic measurements reveal ferromagnetic exchange between the two metal ions.
