π-conjugated polymers containing pendant Mn12 cluster: Synthesis and physical properties

New kind of magnetic polymers are obtained via the modification of Mn12 cluster by π-conjugated polymers. Although the SMM magnetic behavior of Mn12 core has been changed after the ligand exchange of Mn12-Ac, the introduction of Mn12 core at the side-chain has little influence on the photophysical properties of the conjugated main-chain.
