Abstract

We have investigated the energy gap responsible for the quantum transition by measuring the magnetization of a trinuclear oxo-centered Mn complex, [Mn3O(O2CPh)6(pyr)2(H2O)]·0.5 MeCN. The equilibrium magnetization was measured with a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometer and was analyzed with an irreducible tensor operator (ITO) technique to obtain the magnetic exchange and the anisotropy constants. The unusual magnetization steps observed at B ≈ 0 in the hysteresis from pulsed magnet experiments were successfully reproduced with a numerical simulation based on a Bloch-type equation including a Landau-Zener-Sẗuckelberg (LZS) transition term for which the energy gap is field dependent and Δ0 = 2.0 mK at B = 0.
