Abstract

The targeted replacement of acetate groups in the optically inactive [Mn(III)3O(O2CMe)3(mpko)3](ClO4) single-molecule magnet with their naphthalene, anthracene, and pyrene fluorescent analogues has led to three new emissive SMMs with enhanced photoluminescence properties and potential applications in the field of molecular electronics.
