Loopy about magnetism : The use of N ‐methyldiethanolamine (mdaH 2 ) leads to new Mn 12 and Mn 4 single‐molecule magnets (SMMs) with S =7 and S =9 ground‐state spins, respectively. The Mn 12 species (see structure: Mn III green, Mn II orange, O red, N blue, C gray) is a rare example of an SMM with a loop structure. Its unusual S =7 ground state for an Mn III 6 Mn II 6 species is rationalized by DFT calculations.
