High nuclearity structurally - related Mn supertetrahedral T4 aggregates

Chem Commun (Camb). 2021 Nov 23;57(93):12484-12487. doi: 10.1039/d1cc01815a.

Abstract

The simultaneous employment of 1,3-propanediol and di-2-pyridyl ketone in Mn carboxylate chemistry has provided access to three new, structurally-related [Mn24] and [Mn23] clusters. They are based on nanosized supertetrahedal T4 Mn/O structural cores and exhibit slow relaxation of magnetization below 3.5 K.
