We report magnetic properties of the organic/inorganic hybrid salt, (m
-MPYNN+)[Mn12O12(O2CPh)(16)(H2O)(4)](-) (2) where m-MPYNN+ (=m-N-methy
lpyridinium nitronylnitroxide) is a stable organic radical cation with
S=1/2 and [Mn12O12(O2CPh)(16)(H2O)(4)](-) a 12-nuclei Mn cluster anio
n with S=19/2 together with the simple salt, [PPh4+(=tetraphenylphosph
onium)] [Mn12O12(O2CPh)(16)(H2O)(4)](-). 2H(2)O ( 1). The EPR spectra
of 2 are composed of the separate absorption signals of the Mn-12, clu
ster and m-MPYNN+ indicating a negligible exchange interaction between
them. Below 65 K, however an overlap between the absorption tails is
clearly observed. suggesting all energy 1 transfer between the resonan
ces. While the temperature dependences of the paramagnetic susceptibil
ities of 1 and 2 are similar above similar to 4 K, the two salts show
quite different spin dynamics below it. The magnetization curve and sc
susceptibility measurements reveal that the organic radical enhances
the relaxation of the magnetization of the Mn-12 cluster and prevents
the magnetization freezing.
