A tetranuclear manganese complex, [Mn4(hmp)6(N(CN)2)4(H2O)2] [1; Hhmp = 2-(hydroxymethyl)pyridine; N(CN)2− = dicyanamide anion], was synthesized and characterized by single-crystal X-ray diffraction, bond valence sum calculations, IR spectra, elemental analysis, and magnetic measurements. The structure of 1 consists of a linear [MnII2MnIII2] core formed by six hmp− groups linking MnII/III ions. Magnetic studies show that 1 behaves as a single-molecule magnet with ferromagnetic coupling between the metal centers.
