title: Enhancement of magnetic anisotropy in a Mn-Bi heterobimetallic complex.
abstract: A novel Mn2+Bi3+heterobimetallic complex, featuring the closest MnBi interaction for a paramagnetic molecular species, exhibits unusually large axial zero-field splitting. We attribute this enhancement to the proximity of Mn2+to a heavy main group element, namely, bismuth.
