Unlocking single molecule magnetism: a supramolecular strategy for isolating neutral Mn^III salen-type dimer in crystalline environments

Abstract

In [Mn(5-MeOsalen)(Cl)]2(dibenzo[24]crown-8), dibenzo[24]-crown-8 formed a supramolecule via multi-point interactions with the [Mn(5-MeOsalen)(Cl)] dimer. The dimer was magnetically isolated with ST = 4 and weak interdimer magnetic interactions. The crystal exhibited...
