Cyclic coordination clusters (CCCs) are proving to provide an extra dimension in terms of exotic magnetic behavior as a result of their finite but cyclized chain structures. The Fe 18 Dy 6 CCC is a Single Molecule Magnet with the highest nuclearity among Ln containing clusters. The three isostructural compounds [Fe 18 Ln 6 (μ-OH) 6 (ampd) 12 (Hampd) 12 (PhCO 2 ) 24 ](NO 3 ) 6 ·38MeCN for Ln = Dy III ( 1 ), Lu III ( 2 ), or Y III ( 3 ), where H 2 ampd = 2-amino-2-methyl-1,3-propanediol, are reported. These can be described in terms of the cyclization of six {Fe 3 Ln(μOH)(ampd) 2 (Hampd) 2 (PhCO 2 ) 4 } + units with six nitrate counterions to give the neutral cluster. The overall structure consists of two giant Dy 3 riangles sandwiching a strongly antiferromagnetically coupled Fe 18 ring, leading to a toroidal arrangement of the anisotropy axis of the Dy ions, making this the biggest toroidal arrangement on a molecular level known so far.
