摘要
Recent work in designing and synthesising molecules displaying the phenomenon of "single molecule magnet" (SMM) behaviour has shown how a propeller motif with four paramagnetic metal centres can both stabilise non-zero ground spin states and display slow relaxation of the hysteresis: the signature of an SMM. Having thus identified the structural elements required it should be straightforward to produce new examples and learn how to enhance the SMM characteristics. Here we report on an attempt to do this with the surprising result that a molecule specifically designed to display SMM behaviour proves not to, posing the question as to why this should be.
