In a spin : The mixed‐valent {Mn III 20− x Mn II x } cage complexes ( x =2–6) have structures corresponding to a fragment of a cubic close‐packed lattice (see picture, Mn large sphere, O small sphere). Magnetic studies show for the cage with x =2 that the ground state has a spin ( S ) of 19±1 in low field, which increases to about S =30 at higher fields. The cage is a “single molecule magnet” with a high energy barrier (43 K) to reorientation of the magnetization.
