Recently, two new SMMs has been synthesised, with similar magnetic structures consisting of six Mn(III)-ions. While one of them contains two antiferromagnetically coupled triangles leading to a S=4 ground state and giving rise to frustration effects, the other consists of six ferromagnetically coupled ions leading to a S=12 ground state and a high anisotropy barrier.
Here we present recently performed inelastic neutron scattering measurements that allowed us to observe magnetic excitations within the anisotropy split ground state multiplet. In addition a number of excitations to lower lying multiplets with different total S have been found. We will discuss the energy level diagram and its relevance to quantum tunnelling in these molecules.
