Abstract

A [Mn₁₈] wheel of wheels is obtained from the reaction of MnBr₂·4H₂O and LH₃ in MeOH. The metallic skeleton reveals two asymmetric [Mn^III₆Mn^II₂] square wheels connected into a larger wheel via two Mn^II ions. Magnetic susceptibility and magnetisation data reveal competing exchange interactions, supported by computational studies.
