Field induced slow magnetic relaxation in a linear homotrinuclear manganese heterospin coordination compound with S = 7/2 ground state and intriguing spin density distribution.

We report a first example of field-induced ( H DC = 2500 Oe) slow magnetization relaxation in the homotrinuclear linear heterospin manganese coordination compound with S = 7/2 ground state, based on the bidentate 3,5-di- tert -butyl-1,2-benzoquinone-1-monooxime (HL) ligand with composition {[MnL 3 ]Mn[MnL 3 ]}.
