Single-molecule magnets are molecular spin clusters exhibiting slow relaxation of magnetization. In order to understand the interplay of anisotropy and exchange interaction within these clusters, spectroscopic measurements are needed in addition to magnetization and susceptibility studies. Recently, a new frequency-domain Fourier-transform electron paramagnetic resonance technique working in the THz range (FD-FT THz-EPR) has been developed at the BESSY storage ring in Berlin. In this contribution we present first results obtained with this technique. We further discuss the THz-EPR spectra in the context of inelastic neutron scattering, magnetization and susceptibility measurements.
