In the frustrated polyoxomolybdate nanomolecule Fe₃₀Mo₇₂, 30 Fe(III) ions (S=5/2) are located on the vertices of an icosidodecahedron coupled via nearest neighbor antiferromagnetic interactions J₀. However, recent ac suszeptibility measurements by Schröder et al. [1] show that the interactions are non-isotropic and can be described by a random distribution around J₀.

We performed ⁵⁷Fe Moessbauer spectroscopy on this system down to 2 K. Dynamic magnetic hyperfine spectra with magnetically inequivalent sites appear below 6 K. We conclude slow paramagnetic relaxation in agreement with dc magnetisation measurements. Furthermore, the magnetic field dependence at low temperatures (T=50mK) has been studied by ac susceptibility measurements. No magnetsation steps could be observed as predicted by the quantum rotational band model [2]. The implications of our results on this low temperature quantum model are being discussed on the poster.
