Abstract

The manganese oxo-cluster, [Mn12O12(O 2CMe)16(H2O)4]·2(HO 2CMe)·4(H2O), (Mn-12), has been the subject of intense interest for its novel magnetic properties. Although it is a model system for nanoscale magnetic data storage, no methods for forming films or attaching the cluster to surfaces have been reported. Here we demonstrate a simple approach using functionalized self-assembled monolayers and short-chain polyelectrolytes to make monolayer and nanometer-scale multilayer films of Mn-12.
