Physikalisches Institut, Universität Stuttgart, Pfaffenwaldring 57, D-70550 Stuttgart, Germany Understanding the origin of zero-field splitting (ZFS) in molecular magnets is of great importance, because the ZFS determines many of their fundamental properties. The aim of this work has thus been to elucidate the microscopic origin of ZFS in dinuclear exchange coupled systems with large anisotropies exemplified by a classic complex bis(μ-chloro)tetrakis(ethylenediamine) dinickel(II) dichloride, [Ni2(en)4Cl2]Cl2 (1). In this class of complexes the single-ion anisotropy is comparable with exchange coupling constants. Figure 3. The 2-D field vs. frequency map of EPR resonances in 1. The curves were calculated using the same parameters as those used for simulating magnetic properties in Fig. 2. We developed a model that allowed us to take into account simultaneously the single-ion anisotropy, isotropic and asymmetric exchange in calculating the ZFS. Calculations using this model very successfully reproduced the experimental data set (Figs. 2 & 3) Our results point to the importance of asymmetric exchange, which is often neglected in similar systems.
