Summary: | Three dimanganese(

ion, which is a Jahn-Teller-active ion. Temperature dependent magnetic susceptibility and variable temperature-variable field (VTVH) magnetisation measurements, as well as high-frequency and -field EPR (HFEPR) spectroscopy were used to accurately describe the magnetic properties of the complexes, not only the single-ion spin Hamiltonian parameters:

-values and zero-field splitting (ZFS) parameters

, but also the exchange interaction constant
J
between the two ions, which has been seldom determined for a di-Mn
III
complex, particularly when there is more than a single bridging atom. Quantum chemical calculations reproduced well the electronic and geometric structure of these unusual complexes, and, in particular, their electronic absorption spectra along with the spin Hamiltonian and exchange parameters.
High-resolution HFEPR indicates weak exchange interactions between Mn

ions in agreement with DFT calculations. |
