Combining complementary ligands into one framework for the construction of a ferromagnetically coupled [Mn(III)12] wheel.
Phenolic oxime and diethanolamine moieties have been combined into one organic framework, resulting in the formation of a novel ligand type that can be employed to construct a rare and unusual dodecametallic Mn wheel, within which nearest neighbours are coupled ferromagnetically.
