Clusters containing multiple metal ions with large spin values and Jahn–Teller distortions can exhibit ferromagnetism independently, and are called single-molecule magnets . Reaction of {2-[(3-methylaminoethylimino)- methyl]-phenol} ( HL1 ) with manganese(II) acetate and sodium azide in methanol resulted in the Mn(III) dimer [MnL1(N3)(OCH3)]2 . Sketch this complex and use bond length arguments to discuss the most obvious result of Jahn–Teller distortion (S. Naiya, S. Biswas, M. G. B. Drew, C. J. Gómez-García, A. Ghosh, Inorg. Chem. , 2012 , 51 , 5332).
