| The synthesis of hybrid inorganic-organic materials has been of great interest. We use the unusual magnetic molecule Mn12O12(O2CCH3)16(H2O)4 or Mn-12, in a variety of these materials. The first step is to replace the acetate groups that encompass the Mn12O12 core with olefin containing ligands. We then synthesize cluster crosslinked polymers by radical polymerization, using styrene as a co-monomer. The incorporation of magnetic clusters into organic polymers to form inorganic-organic hybrid polymers has been of interest for biological application. |
