A Mixed-Valence and Mixed-Spin Molecular Magnetic Material:

Long-range ferromagnetic ordering at 3 K is observed for the title compound, which may be considered as a fully localized mixed-valence species (Mo(3+) and Mo(4+)) as well as a mixed-spin species (low-spin and high-spin Mn(2+) ions). Its two-dimensional structure consists of heart-shaped 48-membered rings, and each ring contains 16 metal centers (see picture).
