Assessment of the Anisotropy in the Molecule Mn19 with a High-Spin
Ground State S = 83/2 by 35 GHz Electron Paramagnetic Resonance
Inorg. Chem. 47, 3486-3488 (2008)
Abstract:
35 GHz electron paramagnetic resonance
experiments on a powder sample of the magnetic molecule Mn19 with
a high-spin ground state S = 83/2 are presented.
At low temperatures, the data are well described by the simulated spectra
for an isolated spin with a zero-field-splitting parameter D = 0.004
cm–1, which is, in particular, positive. Hence, Mn19
is not a single-molecule magnet; the previously observed magnetic hysteresis
at ultralow temperatures is likely due to intermolecular dipolar
interactions.
