The properties of the Mn-based single-molecule magnet [Mn6IIICrIII]3+ deposited on surfaces are studied. This molecule exhibits a large spin ground state of ST=21/2 and contains six Mn centres in two bowl-shaped Mn3-triplesalen units linked by a hexacyanochromate. A preparation method for large-scale homogeneous samples needed for sample scanning to avoid radiation damage will be presented. The spin polarization of Auger electrons emitted from the manganese centres in [Mn6IIICrIII]3+ SMM after excitation with circularly polarized synchrotron radiation has been measured in the paramagnetic phase at selected excitation energies in the Mn-L2,3 region. These results will be compared to XMCD data obtained at approx. 2K and 7T. Spin polarization data from Mn2O3 and Mn(II)acetate references after excitation at the Mn-L2,3 edge are presented as well.
