Spin ice is an exotic type of magnetism displayed by bulk rare‐earth pyrochlore oxides. We discovered a spin ice‐like magnetic relaxation of [{Mn(saltmen)} 4 {Mn(CN) 6 }](ClO 4 )⋅13 H 2 O (saltmen 2− =N,N′‐(1,1,2,2‐tetramethylethylene)bis(salicylideneiminate)). This magnetic system can be considered as a two‐dimensional network of Mn III salen‐type single‐molecule magnets (SMMs) in which each SMM unit (S T =4) has two orthogonally oriented axial anisotropies and is connected ferromagnetically through the [Mn(CN) 6 ] 3− unit (S=1). This work illustrates that a two‐dimensional SMM network with competition between the ferromagnetic interaction and local noncollinear magnetic anisotropies on SMMs is a new type of magnetic system exhibiting slow relaxation of magnetization with a Davidson‐Cole‐type broad distribution of the relaxation time.
