title: A new "offset" analogue of the classical oxime-bridged [Mn(III)6] single-molecule magnets.
abstract: A new "offset" analogue of the classical [Mn6O2]-core oxime-bridged single-molecule magnets is introduced with a modified stacking arrangement of the [Mn3O] units. Studies of the magnetic properties reveal antiferromagnetic exchange interactions, a spin S = 4 ground state and population of low-lying excited states. Slow relaxation of the magnetization can be detected, with a corresponding energy barrier of 35.8 K. Interpretation of these features is supported with high-frequency EPR studies, quantifying the easy-axis type magnetic anisotropy, leading to a biaxial system. Redox properties investigated by cyclic and differential pulse voltammetry reveal multiple irreversible redox processes.
