A new family of binuclear complexes [MnLn(dpm)(MeO)(MeOH)] is reported (where Ln = La (1), Pr (2), and Eu(3)). These compounds were obtained from a one-pot reaction between 2,2,6,6-tetramethyl-3,5-heptanodione (Hdpm), Mn, and the respective Ln salt in the presence of sodium methoxide. The derivative containing the diamagnetic ion La has been synthesized in order to characterize the local anisotropy of the Mn ion. High-field electron paramagnetic resonance (HFEPR) spectroscopy shows that the Mn ion, with an elongated octahedral geometry in all compounds, has a significant axial zero-field splitting and a small rhombic anisotropy. Additionally, the HFEPR measurements indicate that there is almost no exchange between the spin carriers in these compounds, all of which exhibit field-induced slow relaxation of the magnetization.
