Abstract

We have studied the low-temperature (T) specific heat (C) of Li : Fe6 molecular magnets. The Schottky anomaly related to the singlet-triplet energy gap is shifted towards lower temperature as compared with that observed on Na:Fe6. This evidences the effects of the internal-guest substitution in these antiferromagnetically coupled iron(III) rings. The singlet-triplet energy gap (E(1)/k(B) = 14.2 +/- 0.4 K) and its zero-field splitting (D(1)/k(B) = 3.9 +/- 1.0 K) evaluated by the C-versus-T data fitting are compared to the values estimated by the high-field torque experiments.
