Popis: High frequency Electron Spin Resonance (ESR) up to ν = 1 THz and magnetization M(B) of a tetranuclear-Ni(II) single molecular complex of type [L2Ni4(N3)(O2CAda)4](ClO4) featuring an unprecedented central μ4 - 1,1,3,3 azide have been studied in magnetic fields up to B = 55T. Bridging ligands provide intramolecular exchange paths of different strength between the four Ni ions each having a spin SNi = 1. T- and ν-dependent ESR measurements enable to accurately determine the energy spectrum of the spin states of the cluster as a function of B. A predominantly antiferromagnetic character of exchange renders the ground state nonmagnetic, S = 0, with a number of excited magnetic multiplet states, S = 1,. . . ,4. Remarkably, ESR gives evidence for the spin-level crossing in a field of ~ 25T which turns the ground state of the cluster to a strongly magnetic one. This observation is confirmed by the static M(B) data.
