Combining oxime-based [Mn-6] clusters with cyanometalates: 1D chains of [Mn-6] SMMs from [M(CN)(2)](-) ( M = Au, Ag).

Combining oxime-based [Mn-6] clusters with cyanometalates: 1D chains of [Mn-6] SMMs from [M(CN)(2)](-) ( M = Au, Ag).

The linear [M(CN)(2)](-) (M = Au, Ag) anions can be used as metalloligands in oxime-based Mn chemistry to afford 1D chains of [Mn-III (6)] single-molecule magnets (SMMs).
