Iterative analysis of the second-order ABX spin system in the 1H n.m.r. of the title compound gave coupling constants which are consistent with a conformation involving a H-C-C-H dihedral angle of about 90�. The structure was confirmed by X-ray analysis. The 1H n.m.r. of the related compounds 2,2-dimethyl-5-pheny1-6,6,6-tri(phenylthio)hexan-3-one and 1,3-diphenyl-4,4,4-tri(pheny1-thio)butan-1-one were also analysed and found to have similar conformational characteristics.

We analyze the interference between tunneling paths that occur for a spin system with special Hamiltonian both for dipole and quadrupole excitations. Using an instanton approach, we find that as the strength of the second-order transverse anisotropy is increased, the tunnel splitting for both excitations is modulated, with zeros occurring periodically and the number of quenching points for quadrupole excitation decreasing. This effect results from the interference of four tunneling paths connecting easy-axis spin orientations and occurs in the absence of any magnetic field.

We study escape rate transitions in the Fe 8 molecular magnet with fourth-order transverse anisotropy in the presence of an external field perpendicular to the easy axis. Direct numerical diagonalization has been employed to investigate the transition type and the transition temperature T0. We find that the first-order transition as well as the second-order transition can exist when the field is applied along the hard axis, while only the second-order transition appears for the field along the medium axis. It is also observed that the transition temperature is increased due to fourth-order transverse anisotropy.
