Synthesis, structure and magnetic properties of a decametallic Ni single-molecule magnet
Abstract
Ferromagnetic exchange between the ten Ni2+ ions in the complex [Ni10(tmp)2(N3)8(acac)6(MeOH)6] leads to a spin ground state of S = 10; single crystal Mvs. H studies reveal the temperature and sweep rate dependent hysteresis loops expected for a single-molecule magnet.
