Abstract In this paper neutron diffraction experiments were performed for Fe-substituted Mn12 in order to determine the sites of Fe atoms. The results of structure refinements for the sample with our accessed highest Fe content showed that all Fe atoms occupied Mn(3) sites in the Mn12 skeleton. The x-ray absorption fine structure experiments as well as multiple scattering simulations gave the same result. Thus we concluded that Fe atoms only occupied Mn(3) sites. This conclusion also means that Fe-substituted Mn12 series only includes the four single-molecule magnets of [Mn12-xFexO12(CH3COO)16(H2O)4]$\cdot$ 2CH3COOH$\cdot$ 4H2O (x = 1, 2, 3, and 4), denoted by Mn11Fe1, Mn10Fe2, Mn9Fe3, and Mn8Fe4, respectively.

Altmetric calculates a score based on the online attention an article receives. Each coloured thread in the circle represents a different type of online attention. The number in the centre is the Altmetric score. Social media and mainstream news media are the main sources that calculate the score. Reference managers such as Mendeley are also tracked but do not contribute to the score. Older articles often score higher because they have had more time to get noticed. To account for this, Altmetric has included the context data for other articles of a similar age.
