Abstract

A Magnetic Circular Dichroism (MCD) spectroscopic study of the antiferromagnetic ring [Cr₈F₈Piv₁₆] (Piv = pivalate) is reported. From the splitting of the MCD bands, the single ion anisotropy parameters in the cluster spin ground state at different fields were determined to be d_Cr = -0.33 ± 0.02 cm^-1, e _Cr = 0.11 ± 0.01 cm^-1. Analysis of the MCD intensity as a function of field and temperature revealed the influence of spin mixing effects and yielded independent estimates of the single ion anisotropies (d_Cr = -0.19 cm^-1, e_Cr = 4.3 × 10 ^-4 cm^-1), as well as yielding the isotropic exchange interaction strength (J = -6.00 cm^-1). Thus it is shown that MCD is a powerful method to unravel the relation between single-ion and cluster anisotropy, furthering the design of molecular magnets with desired properties.
