Abstract

A pair of enantiopure Fe(III)4 SMMs with axial symmetry was synthesized and characterized by magnetization and high-frequency electron paramagnetic resonance methods. The results reveal that the axial symmetry of the structure is broken by the interaction of Fe(III)4 with the disordered solvent molecules.
