In this Dalton Transactions Hot Article, a team from the University of Florence, and Annie Powell from Karlsruhe Institute of Technology carried out a single crystal EPR study on a molecular nanomagnet (MNM).
The study was aimed at confirming the nature of the ground spin state and the fine determination of the magnetic anisotropy of an Fe19 cluster.
Fe-based MNMs like the one reported in this study can be used as models for natural systems and provide clues for understanding the growth of inorganic cores in proteins.
