Abstract

Doping a Cr7Zn molecular nanomagnet into a diamagnetic and isostructural host allows pulsed X-band EPR on single crystals, including relaxation and nutation experiments on the S = 3/2 ground state.

Highlights

  • Doping a Cr7Zn molecular nanomagnet into a diamagnetic and isostructural host allows pulsed X-band EPR on single crystals, including relaxation and nutation experiments on the S = 3/2 ground state

  • The metal ions in each molecule define a planar octagon, with each edge bridged by a fluoride and two pivalates, giving a complex anion which is centred on a Me2NH2+ cation (Fig. S1, Electronic supplementary information (ESI)†)

  • Cr7Zn@Ga7Zn crystallises in the tetragonal I4 space group (ESI†), with the molecules lying on the C4 axis such that the M07Zn rings are in the crystal ab plane (Fig. 1)
