Abstract

Last night of the POMs: The title compound (X = GeIV) exhibits slow relaxation of magnetization and quantum tunneling with a single-molecule magnetic behavior. Significant structural differences in the [Mn III 4MnII 2O4(H 2O)4]8+ cluster core of the X = SiIV analogue modify the magnetic properties, thereby illustrating how polyoxometalate (POM) ligands can help in the systematic construction of nanoscale magnets. (Graph Presented).
