“…Manganese continues to play a prominent role in the chemistry of 3d transition metals, owing to its significance across a breadth of research areas, including bioinorganic [1] and biomedicinal chemistry [2], catalysis [3], nanomaterials [4], spectroscopy [5], and molecular magnetism [6]. In the latter category, the ability of the Mn ion to exist in a variety of stable oxidation states (II-IV) allows for the construction of polymetallic cluster compounds exhibiting a variety of interesting magnetic behaviours, including the stabilization of large spin ground states [7], the slow relaxation of magnetization [8], spin frustration [9], vibrational coherences [10], and enhanced magnetocaloric effects [11].…”
