Electron spin resonance and magnetization data of a novel multicenter magnetic molecular complex are reported. In this compound two Ni(II) ions are coupled to a dimer via a diaminthio-bridge and a pair of dimers is coupled in a single molecule via a µ1,3 azide bridge. Thus a single molecule spin cluster of a quadrangular shape comprising four Ni(II) spins each with S = 1 is formed. Magnetization measurements in fields < 52 T evidence a high-spin ground-state with S = 4. ESR has been measured on the polycrystalline sample to determine the zero field splitting of the spin-levels and the g-factor of the resonating spins. Moreover, we have been able to orient the crystallites of the powder in high magnetic fields due to the magnetic anisotropy of the complex. Hence it has been possible to compare experimental quasi single-crystal and powder-averaged ESR data with the theoretical model which yields an accurate determination of the parameters of the spin-Hamiltonian.
