چکیده

X-ray structural, magnetization and Mn single crystal NMR investigations of Mn12O12 (CH2BrCOO)16(4H2O) Æ 4CH2Cl2 indicate that this highly symmetric ðI 4Þ lattice, devoid of hydrogen bonding of the Mn12-framework with the molecules of lattice hydration, might be an improved model for studying single-molecule magnetism. Single crystal NMR yield much enhanced NMR data as compared to magnetically oriented powders, enable determination of Mn hyperfine and quadrupole couplings, and show that the oriented powder samples do not represent an authentic crystal picture. 2005 Published by Elsevier Ltd.

Single-crystal 55Mn NMR spectra of two Mn12 single-molecule magnets.

The initial application is reported of single-crystal 55Mn NMR spectroscopy, and associated orientation dependence studies, to single-molecule magnets (SMMs). The studies were performed on two members of the Mn12 family of SMMs, [Mn12O12(O2CMe)16(H2O)4].2MeCO2H.4H2O (Mn12-Ac) and [Mn12O12(O2CCH2Br)16(H2O)4].4CH)Cl) (Mn12-BrAc). Single-crystal spectra give a dramatic improvement in the spectral ...

Electronic transport properties and orientation of individual Mn12 single-molecule magnets

Individual Mn12 single-molecule magnets have been investigated by means of scanning tunneling spectroscopy at room temperature. Current-voltage characteristics of a Mn12 derivative are studied in detail and compared with simulations. A few-parameter scalar model for ballistic current flow through a single energy level is sufficient to describe the main features observed in scanning tunneling sp...

A spectroscopic comparison between several high-symmetry S=10 Mn12 single-molecule magnets

We report angle-dependent high-field electron-paramagnetic-resonance data collected for single-crystal samples of Mn12–Ac. The spectra reveal fine structures associated with various Mn12 species corresponding to different disordered local environments. Each of the fine structures exhibits a distinct dependence on the field orientation, thereby highlighting the discrete nature of the disorder. W...

A comparative study on the deposition of Mn12 single molecule magnets on the Au(111) surface.

Different approaches to the deposition of Mn(12) single molecule magnets on the Au(111) surface and their characterization by a broad variety of techniques are investigated with respect to their suitability for a profound corroboration of the integrity of the Mn(12) core. In this context, the most recent improvements in the experimental approaches are presented and the latest results on the ele...

Mn12 single-molecule magnet aggregates as magnetic resonance imaging contrast agents.

Mn(12) single-molecule magnets have been dispersed in water through an emulsion-assisted self-assembly method with an improved stability in water, in order to investigate the use of Mn(12) as MRI contrast agents.
