Tetrairon(III) Single-Mol. Magnets (SMMs) with a propeller-like structure exhibit tuneable magnetic anisotropy barriers in both height and shape. The clusters [Fe4(L1)2(dpm)6] (1), [Fe4(L2)2(dpm)6] (2), [Fe4(L3)2(dpm)6]·Et2O (3·Et2O), and [Fe4(OEt)3(L4)(dpm)6] (4) were prepd. by reaction of [Fe4(OMe)6(dpm)6] (5) with tripodal ligands R-C(CH2OH)3 (H3L1, R = Me; H3L2, R = CH2Br; H3L3, R = Ph; H3L4, R = tBu; Hdpm = dipivaloylmethane). The iron(III) ions exhibit a centered-triangular topol. and are linked by six alkoxo bridges, which propagate antiferromagnetic interactions resulting in an S = 5 ground spin state. Single crystals of 4 reproducibly contain at least two geometric isomers. From high-frequency EPR studies, the axial zero-field splitting parameter (D) is invariably neg., as found in 5 (D = -0.21 cm-1) and amts. to -0.445 cm-1 in 1, -0.432 cm-1 in 2, -0.42 cm-1 in 3·Et2O, and -0.27 cm-1 in 4 (dominant isomer). The anisotropy barrier Ueff detd. by a.c. magnetic susceptibility measurements is Ueff/kB = 17.0 K in 1, 16.6 K in 2, 15.6 K in 3·Et2O, 5.95 K in 4, and 3.5 K in 5. Both |D| and Ueff increase with increasing helical pitch of the Fe(O2Fe)3 core. The 4th-order longitudinal anisotropy parameter B40, which affects the shape of the anisotropy barrier, concomitantly changes from pos. in 1 (compressed parabola) to neg. in 5 (stretched parabola). With the aid of spin Hamiltonian calcns. the obsd. trends were attributed to fine modulation of single-ion anisotropies induced by a change of helical pitch.
