Single-Molecule Magnets: Jahn-Teller Isomerism and the Origin of Two Magnetization Relaxation Processes in Mn12 Complexes
Abstract
New Mn12 single-molecule magnets (SMM's) with the composition [Mn12O12(O2CR)16(H2O)4] were prepared and structurally characterized. Complexes of this type can exhibit two out-of-phase ac magnetic susceptibility signals, one in the 4-7 K region and the other in the 2-3 K region. The origin of the two magnetization relaxation processes was systematically examined. The X-ray structures of two isomeric forms of a Mn12 SMM are given. One complex has an abnormal Jahn-Teller distortion axis. The magnetization hysteresis loops for the two isomers are quite different.
