Abstract:
The reaction of the [Mn12O12(O2CCHCl2)16(H2O)4] cluster with tetrathiotetracene triiodide has been studied and, for the first time, reduction fragmentation of Mn12 cluster to Mn6 cluster has been found.
Keywords:oxocarboxylate Mn12 cluster, tetrathiotetracene, single molecule magnets, hexanuclear cluster.
