Three-Dimensional (3-D) Ferromagnetic Network of Mn12 Single-Molecule Magnets: Subtle Environmental Effects and Switching to Antiferromagnetic

Three-Dimensional (3-D) Ferromagnetic Network of Mn12 Single-Molecule Magnets: Subtle Environmental Effects and Switching to Antiferromagnetic

[Mn12O12(O2CC6H4-p-F)16(H2O)4]·8MeCN (2·8MeCN) forms a 3-D ferromagnetic network resulting from extensive intermolecular C−H···F hydrogen-bonding. Drying to 2 decreases the cell volume and switches the network to antiferromagnetic, which is reversed by hydration to 2·3H2O. Magnetic properties accompanying the changes are described, including hysteresis loops for 2·8MeCN showing a small exchange bias that is unexpectedly antiferromagnetic, assigned to Jz components of the intermolecular interactions. The results provide insights into the sensitivity of the magnetic properties to environmental perturbations.
