A new heterometallic complex [CuMn(5-Brsap)2(MeOH)(Ac)] ⋅ CH3OH (1) (5-Brsap = 5-bromo-2-salicylideneamino-1-propanol) has been synthesized and characterized structurally as well as magnetically. Complex 1 has an alkoxo-bridged Cu(II) and Mn(III) heterobinuclear core, where the Mn(III) and Cu(II) ions have elongated octahedral and square–pyramidal geometries, respectively. In dc magnetic susceptibility measurements reveal that there is strong ferromagnetic interaction between the Mn(III) and Cu(II) ions with an exchange coupling constant J = 67.64 cm−1. The ac magnetic susceptibility measurements, frequency dependence in both the real and imaginary signals is observed, which indicates slow relaxation of magnetization. An Arrhenius plot gave the effective anisotropy barrier Δ/kB = 11.58 K and the pre-exponential factor ι0 = 1.28 × 10−6 s.
