Axes of power : Jahn–Teller isomerism (that is, Jahn–Teller distortion along different axes) accounts for the presence of both faster and slower relaxing magnetization dynamics of the title compound (see core structure; blue Mn, red O, gray C), which is a single‐molecule magnet (SMM). The new compound is a structural variant of the [Mn 12 ] family of SMMs and is prepared by a reductive aggregation of [MnO 4 ] − in a mixture of MeOH/PhCO 2 H.
