The properties of the manganese-based single-molecule-magnet (SMM) Mn6Cr are studied. This molecule exhibits a large spin ground state of ST=21/2. It contains six manganese centres arranged in two bowl-shaped Mn3-triplesalen building blocks linked by a hexacyanochromate. The Mn6Cr complex can be isolated with different counterions which compensate for its triply positive charge. The spin polarization of photoelectrons emitted from the manganese centres in Mn6Cr SMM after resonant excitation with circularly polarized synchrotron radiation has been measured at selected energies corresponding to the prominent Mn L3VV and L3M2,3V Auger peaks. Spin-resolved photoelectron spectra of the reference substances MnO, Mn2O3 and Mn(II)acetate recorded after resonant excitation at the Mn-L3-edge around 640eV are presented as well. The spin polarization value obtained from MnO at room temperature in the paramagnetic state is compared to XMCD measurements of Mn(II)-compounds at 5K and a magnetic field of 5T.
