Enhancement of magnetic anisotropy in a Mn–Bi heterobimetallic complex

Abstract

A novel Mn2+⋯Bi3+ heterobimetallic complex, featuring the closest Mn⋯Bi interaction for a paramagnetic molecular species, exhibits unusually large axial zero-field splitting. We attribute this enhancement to the proximity of Mn2+ to a heavy main group element, namely, bismuth.
