[Ni-2 (Medpt)(2)(mu -OX)(H2O)(2)](ClO4)(2)2H(2)O is one of the model substa
nces of an S = 1 isolated dimer system. We have performed high-field ESR an
d magnetization measurements on this material using pulsed magnetic fields
up to 55 T. The observed ESR signals and the angular dependence of the crit
ical fields were analyzed in terms of the S = 1 isolated dimer model includ
ing the single-ion anisotropy term. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All righ
