Abstract

A [Mn₁₈] wheel of wheels is obtained from the reaction of MnBr₂ and LH₃ in MeOH. The metallic skeleton reveals two asymmetric [Mn^III₆Mn^II₂] squares connected into a wheel via two apical Mn^II ions. Magnetic susceptibility and magnetisation data reveal competing exchange interactions, supported by computational studies revealing spin frustration.
