摘要:
The synthesis, X-ray crystal structure and magnetic properties of a new dodecanuclear manganese complex [Mn12O12(O2CCH2Br)(16)(H2O)(4)] . 4CH(2)Cl(2)(2) . 4CH(2)Cl(2) are reported. Complex 2 . 4CH(2)Cl(2) crystallizes in tetragonal space group I4(1)/a with the following cell dimensions at 293(2) K: a = b = 26.697(4) Angstrom, c = 13.246(4) Angstrom, and Z = 4. The results of DC and AC magnetic susceptibility studies are described. DC measurements show the presence of hysteresis loops, and the out-of-phase component of AC magnetic susceptibilities has a frequency dependent maximum. Step-like features are seen on hysteresis loops and quantum mechanical tunneling could be the origin of these unusual relaxations. (C) 2001 Published by Elsevier Science B.V.
