Magnetism of the high spin molecules [Mn4L6](BF4)2·2CH3-CN·H2O and [CrIIIMnII3 (PyA)6Cl3]

We have studied the electronic and magnetic structure of high spin molecules by spectroscopic investigations in combination with theoretical calculations. We present results on MnII4 L6. The element selective MnII and CrIII dichroic signals of the CrMn3 complex at B = 5 T and T = 5 K where recorded. For the three MnII ions a magnetic moment of 15 μB was determined. For both complexes we will present a comparison to XAS/XMCD charge transfer multiplet calculations.
