Abstract The synthesis of transition metal spin‐clusters has become an important sub‐discipline coordination chemistry, especially since the discovery single‐molecule magnets (SMMs) in early nineties. In this context, complexes with high spin‐numbers and large anisotropy are particularly desired. use azide ligand to act as a bridge magnetic coupler within cages paramagnetic ions increasingly common field, during last five years, mainly because versatility ligand, which is capable bridging...
Clusters of magnets: The first examples manganese single-molecule magnets (SMMs) consisting exclusively trivalent metal centers are reported. These hexanuclear clusters containing the [MnIII6(μ3-O)2(μ2-OR)2]12+ core (see picture, Mn yellow, O red) and have an S=4 ground state. Variation oxygen-containing ligands allows a potentially large family SMMs to be prepared.

μ4 end-on coordination (through the N atom) of pseudohalogeno ligands X−=N3− and NCO− has been observed in isostructural nonanuclear CoII cages with general formula [Co9{(2-C5H4N)2CO2}4(O2CMe)8X2] (see picture); this mode is imposed by trapping anions X− into cavities formed inside cage. The change modulates magnetic behavior cage from antiferromagnetic coupling to a ferrimagnetic high-spin ground state.
