A heterometal single-molecule magnet of [MnIII2NiII2Cl2(salpa)2].
The tetranuclear complex [MnIII2NiII2Cl2(salpa)2] (salpa = N-(2-hydroxybenzyl)-3-amino-1-propanol) has a spin ground state of S = 6 and was confirmed to be an SMM based on a steplike feature of the magnetization hysteresis loop at 0.55 K.
