A canted antiferromagnetic ordered phase of cyanido-bridged Mn2IIIReIV single-chain magnets

A new cyanido-bridged Re-IV-Mn-III heterometallic 1D system, [Mn-III(5-Me-saltmen)](2)[(ReCl4)-Cl-IV(CN)(2)]center dot 3CH(3)CN (1), was designed and structurally characterized. Interchain interactions stabilize a canted antiferromagnetic ordered state below 6.2 K that does not prevent slow relaxation of the magnetization reminiscent of the single-chain magnet properties of the individual chains.
