Abstract
The heterobimetallic metallacrown (MC), (TMA)2{Mn(OAc)2[12-MCMn(III)Cu(II)N(shi)-4](CH3OH)}·2.90CH3OH, 1, where TMA+ is tetramethylammonium, -OAc is acetate, and shi3- is salicylhydroximate, consists of a MnII ion captured in the central cavity and alternating unambiguous and ordered manganese(III) and copper(II) sites about the MC ring, a first for the archetypal MC structure design. DC-magnetometry characterization and subsequent simulation with the Spin Hamiltonian H = -J1(s1 + s3)·s5 - J2(s2 + s4)·s5 - J3Σi=14si·si+1 + d(sz,12 + sz,32) + μBΣj=15gjsj·B indicates an S = 5/2 ground state and a sizable axial zero-field splitting on MnIII. AC-susceptibility measurements reveal that 1 displays slow magnetization relaxation akin to single-molecule magnet (SMM) behavior.
