Comprehensive studies of the [Mn6IIICrIII]3+ single-molecule magnet deposited on Au and Si substrates by Spin-Resolved Electron Spectroscopy (SPES) and X-ray Magnetic Circular Dichroism (XMCD) are presented. [Mn6IIICrIII]3+ consists of two bowl-shaped Mn3-triplesalen units linked by a hexacyanochromate. It exhibits a spin ground state of ST=21/2. For excitation energies covering the Mn-L2,3 region, the spin polarization of Auger electrons originating from the MnIII ions in [Mn6IIICrIII]3+ has been measured at room temperature and without applying external magnetic fields. Radiation damage was monitored by XAS at the Mn-L3 edge. Corresponding XMCD data have been obtained at 2K and 7T. The local magnetic properties of the Mn constituents in [Mn6IIICrIII]3+ SMM derived from spin polarization data in the paramagnetic phase are compared to results obtained by XMCD. Differences between both methods are discussed.
