N2 - The reaction of [Mn III(5-Brsalen)(MeOH)](ClO 4) (5-Brsalen 2 - = N,N′-ethylenebis(5-bromosalicylidene-iminate)) with [Ir III(CN) 6] 3 - yields a trinuclear, cyanide-bridged Mn III-Ir III-Mn III cluster which is a member of an isostructural series of Mn III-M III-Mn III clusters. The presence of the large, diamagnetic [Ir III(CN) 6] 3 - bridging unit facilitates a precise determination of the Mn III zero-field splitting (zfs) parameters by the combined use of inelastic neutron scattering, high-field, high-frequency EPR spectroscopy and magnetic measurements. The single-ion axial (D) and rhombic (E) zfs parameters are found to be D = - 3.72(5) cm - 1 and |E| = 0.21(1) cm - 1. The experimental data are consistent with a small, antiferromagnetic exchange interaction between the two Mn III ions.
